Holidays in Center City

Bad idea — drunk texting ex bae at 3 a.m. Good idea — travelling. It’s time to quit making poor life decisions and take a trip to Center City, Philadelphia! If you like meeting the locals while on the road, Philadelphia is full of potential new BBFs. Around 1,500,000 people call this popular city home. To reach Center City from Dover Air Force Base Airport, grab a taxi and travel north for 95 kilometres. You'll find this neighbourhood 0.5 kilometres east of downtown Philadelphia.

This city has no shortage of sensational things to do, and you'll uncover many of them near Center City. It's difficult to choose the leading attractions, but Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell Center are a couple you should not miss. After taking a look at those, you're going to want to continue on to the Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania. While you're in town, consider checking out a few other neighbourhoods to taste more of what Philadelphia offers. Market East and Chinatown are good recommendations that are a short distance away.

There are loads of reasons why so many travellers throng to the centre of Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Zoo and Reading Terminal Market are two of the best of them. To get an even better feel for your surrounds, also drop into the Ben Franklin National Memorial and the St. Joseph's University.

Like to learn something new? The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Painted Bride Art Center, the Philadelphia's Magic Gardens and the Mann Center for Performing Arts are a few recommended cultural sites.

Escape the hustle and bustle while you wander through the fascinating art on display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Rodin Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art and the Museum of American Art. Later, why not hit up a local café and contemplate your time there?

Take a look into the glass cabinets and learn about the objects on display as you walk through the intriguing collections of the Mutter Museum, the National Constitution Center, the Academy of Natural Sciences and the Mummers Museum.

One of the measures of an exceptional performance tends to be the amount of applause at the end. Watch the audience rise to their feet at Susquehanna Bank Center, the Walnut Street Theatre, Academy of Music and the Mann Center for the Performing Arts.

Locating kid-friendly places is often number one on the list when going on holiday with the family. Check out the Please Touch Museum, Adventure Aquarium, Penn's Landing and Rocky Steps.

Children don't want to spend all day confined to a hotel room. Give them a break and stop into one of the local action-packed attractions. They can choose from Fairmount Park, Buckley Recreational Field, Francisville Playground and North Bowl Lounge n Lanes.

Step out and enjoy the scenery at the Camden Children's Garden, the Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Education Center, Lake Diane and Schuylkill River Trail.

Whether you're hoping to relax with a book or have a laugh with some friends, the nearby green spaces are delightful places to be. Take your pick from Washington Square Park, Fairmount Waterworks Drive, Reyburn Park and Clarence Clark park.

Sometimes the easiest way to get to know the locals is by hitting the shops. Don't forget to drop in at Italian Market and Liberty Place.

Go for an educational history lesson at Eastern State Penitentiary, the Free Library of Philadelphia, Congress Hall and Franklin Square. Reading about them in a textbook simply can't compare!

Learn all about the region's spiritual aspects at Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Old Pine Street Presbyterian Church and Christ Church. These places are worth visiting whether you're a religious person or not.

Not many things are as exciting as witnessing a live sports game. Why don't you catch the Camden Riversharks, the Rutgers-Camden or the St Joseph's Hawks attempt to claim glory at their home arena, Campbell's Field?
