    CONTACT: Cara Schneider (215) 206-2034, [email protected] REASONS THE PHILADELPHIA REGION IS A MUST-VISIT THIS SPRING New Museum Opens On Independence Mall & Philadelphia Museum of Art Opens New Galleries As Part Of Major Renovation PHILADELPHIA, March 1, 2021 – As spring nears and COVID-19 restrictions continue to lift, the Philadelphia region is eager to welcome visitors to safely explore new, renovated and just-reopened museums; inspired exhibits; beloved annual events; and brand new hotels. Those looking to dip their toes back into travel after a long hiatus can explore the brand-new Faith and Liberty Discovery Center, making its debut on Independence Mall in May; check out the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s new galleries, part of a Frank Gehry-designed interior expansion and renovation; and take a special twilight tour of the haunting Eastern State Penitentiary, also hosting its first-ever beer garden in the baseball diamond. When it’s time to rest their tired feet after days spent touring the town, visitors can do so at the city’s first W Hotel or at the Guild House Hotel, a boutique property in a National Historic Landmark building, both opening in spring. Another great option for spending a night or two is the ever-popular Visit Philly Overnight Hotel Package, which includes hotel parking and buy-one-get-one-free tickets for 19 attractions, many of which are hosting special exhibits this spring (see below). It’s available at 40 hotels and bookable at visitphilly.com/overnight. Here’s a look at why Philadelphia is a must-visit this spring: Museum Openings & Renovations: • Independence Seaport Museum – The first day of spring brings with it the reopening of the Delaware River Waterfront museum focused on national maritime history.

Housing prices remained strong, rents steadily climbed and rental vacancy rates dropped to 4.6%, as new residents continued to flock to Center City.
