My New Home: Philadelphia 🇺🇸
Philadelphia has so much to offer when it comes to attractions. From historical sites to museum to parks to malls, Philly is a must place to visit.
Philadelphia ( City of Brotherly Love ) Pennsylvania's largest city is the birthplace of the United States Marine Corps. Also known as "The Athens of America".
For me, Philadelphia is a safe place to live. I've been here 6 months and spent most of the time roaming around the city.
Here's my complete guide on how to visit the top tourist destinations in Philly.
First and foremost if you're travelling here without a car then first thing to do is buy a Septa Card, click the link https://septakey.org
The card is 5$ and you have an automatic load of 4.95$ and you can reload it from 5$ up to 248$. Here's the deal if you're visiting for just 2-3 days and you want to visit all the spots in Philly without walking too much 😅 then buy the Septa's weekly trans pass for 25.50$ you have 56 rides in total ( bus, subway, trolley except for the regional rail trains ) and this is enough to visit all the places that Philly can offer. Septa is only valid in PA so you can't use it in another state. Well if you don't want the key card, fare is 2.50$ per ride.
Get your key card and let's begin! For sure if you're travelling here by train or bus you always start in 30th street. Or if you'll book a hotel make sure it's near the subway so it will be easier for you to roam around. Here's the map of the subway.
Tip: Download Google Maps and type in the location you wanna visit and it will show you what bus or train to ride as well as the corresponding time. So easy, just follow the directions and you won't get lost!
