PHILADELPHIA

A CITY THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

PHILADELPHIA

INTERNATIONAL

VISITORS GUIDE

Philadelphians love oil paintings, famous declarations, al fresco dining and opera. We also like to think there’s no greater delicacy than meat and melted cheese on a

roll. Call it a little something for everyone.

So if you’re planning a trip to the States, here’s the deal: Philadelphia isn’t New York (more manageable, less sticker shock) or Washington, DC (more fun, less politics). We are what we are. And what we are is an American city that’s unapologetically candid about everything from street art and historical artifacts to the best way to navigate the city (it’s called shoe leather). Where art is everywhere you look—and everywhere else, too. Tons of culture. Salt-of-the- earth people. Food like you read about. And tax-free shopping on all shoes and clothing.
