Philadelphia is about 40 miles from Hatfield, making it an ideal distance from the city for a staycation. If you’ve got the time for a daytrip or two to Philly while enjoying sleeping in the comfort of your own home, follow these tips to make the most of your time in the big city.
Expand Your Culinary Interests
Though Philadelphia is famous for cheesesteaks and soft pretzels, there’s much more to experience food-wise in the city. Philly has some legendary Israeli and Spanish fare that you can enjoy at restaurants like Zahav and Double Knot. If this is your first time visiting the city and you absolutely want to experience the dishes it’s most famous for, consider signing up for a food tour to experience it all in one trip.
Get Around Via Public Transportation
Philadelphia is highly walkable, which makes exploring the city on foot the best way to get around. Or you can pay just $5 for a Philly PHLASH all-day pass. It’ll drop you off at some of the top neighborhoods for attractions, restaurants, and bars.
Take Advantage of Free Tours
Seeing the Liberty Bell Center is a must for first-time visitors, and it’s just one of many sights that you can visit for free. Plan to take a guided trip of Independence Hall and Rittenhouse Square, and all you’ll have to pay for is the bus pass and any food or drink you need!
Philadelphia is a wonderful city, and with a little preparation, it’s easy to get around and see everything on your list. Follow these tips to enjoy a seamless staycation in Philly.
