Philadelphia’s central location on the East Coast — just ninety miles from New York City and 135 miles from Washington, D.C. — makes it a top pick for group planners. Here, groups can explore the nation’s most historic square mile at Independence National Historical Park, marvel at Philadelphia’s unparalleled collection of public art — including more than 4,000 colorful murals — view groundbreaking exhibitions at iconic museums, and enjoy waterfront vistas, community parks and miles of trails in one of the largest city-owned urban park systems in the nation.

Philadelphia is one of the country’s most walkable cities with plenty to see and enjoy with over 4,000 murals.

A UNESCO World Heritage City, Philadelphia is one of only three U.S. destinations – and one of only eight destinations around the globe – to make Condé Nast Traveler’s 2021 Gold List, thanks in part to the city’s 2,000+ acre Fairmount Park system, a bustling Chinatown, and the shimmering mosaics that fill Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens.

Steeped in history, Philadelphia continues to grow adding new museums, restaurants and attractions. From the newly unveiled 90,000 square feet Frank Gehry designed public and exhibition space at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to the updated and expanded Reading Terminal, voted the best public market in the nation in 2022 by USA Today 10Best, there is something for everyone.

As one of the most walkable cities in the U.S., restaurants, attractions, hotels and so much more are only steps away.
