Boasting the title as the most populous city in Pennsylvania and the second in the Northeast Megalopolis and Mid-Atlantic regions after New York City, Philadelphia is a buzzing, vibrant city with a heart steeped in rich historical significance. Founded by William Penn in 1682, Philadelphia, quite fittingly named, 'brotherly love', this city has served as the bedrock to many a national formation, including the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.

From its world-class universities and Fortune 500 headquarters to its biotechnology prowess and historic Stock Exchange, Philadelphia's diverse economy never fails to impress. This, coupled with a pioneering multimodal transportation and logistics infrastructure, leaves one with the impression of a city forever moving forward.

Yet, amidst the bustle, Philly has not forgotten its roots - with 67 National Historic Landmarks, outdoor sculptures and murals galore, and the crowning glory of Independence Hall, the city is a living, breathing testament to its pivotal role in American history. Even the musical roots continue to run deep, influencing American R&B, soul, and rock.

Catering to all, Philadelphia is a melting pot of cultures. The expansive Fairmount Park blossoms with cherry trees in the spring, the appealingly vibrant LGBTQ+ community flourishes, and sporting fanatics revel in the city's renowned passion for professional sports. A blend of old-world charm and modern dynamism, Philadelphia is a city that is always on the go, ever evolving but forever proud of its history.

When to visit Philadelphia

If you're considering a visit to this splendid city, the best time to visit happens to be from March through to May. This is when the city thaws after the winter's icy grip, offering moderate hotel rates and the chance to witness the dramatic cherry blossom bloom in serenity of Fairmount Park.

Summer months invite the onset of thrilling outdoor festivals and events, enabled by comfortable temperatures ranging in the 70s and mid-80s. However, hotel rates are at their peak during this time, so it's quite the bustling—and expensive—period to visit.

Alternatively, winter presents you with the cheapest rates, but with a caveat: the temperatures drop considerably, often resting in the mid-20s, which could put a chill on your exploration plans. Regardless of when you decide to visit, Philadelphia will always be a city that greets you with open arms, brimming with history, culture, and brotherly love.
