The Best Philadelphia Tours
![liberty travel in philadelphia Philadelphia's "Rocky" statue in the daytime](https://www.usnews.com/object/image/00000187-7207-d7f3-a5df-728f2d8b0001/rocky-tour-rockystatue-j-smith-for-visit-philadelphia.jpg?update-time=1681245320723&size=responsive640)

The "Rocky" statue is one of the sights you'll see along the Yo, Philly! Rocky Film Tour.
There are so many things to do in Philadelphia that the historic landmarks alone – Independence Hall , the Liberty Bell , the National Constitution Center , the Betsy Ross House – could fill an entire trip. To make the most of your time, consider a guided Philadelphia tour that covers a variety of attractions and experiences, from visiting lesser-known "Rocky" filming locations with a Sylvester Stallone look-alike to tasting your way through the city's best food markets with an expert.
Based on travel expert opinions and recent views from sites like Tripadvisor and Google, these are the best tours in Philadelphia.
The Yo, Philly! Rocky Film Tour
Price: From $350 Duration: 3 hours
Mike Kunda, a lifelong fan of "Rocky" and the winner of a national "Rocky" look-alike contest, leads private tours to "Rocky" filming locations throughout Philadelphia. You'll visit Rocky's apartment from the first movie, the Front Street Gym featured in "Creed," the infamous site of the Tommy Gunn fight in "Rocky V," the Rocky Steps and Statue and more. Kunda will share stories told to him by actor Sylvester Stallone from his time on set during the filming of "Rocky Balboa," "Creed" and "Creed II," and there will be plenty of "Rocky" trivia along the way. Participants praise Kunda's depth and breadth of knowledge and love his enthusiasm.
The tour is limited to private groups of up to seven people for a flat rate of $350. Tours must be booked in advance on the official website.

Big Bus Philadelphia – 1-Day Tour
Price: Adults from $36; kids from $17 Duration: 90 minutes or more
If you're looking for a traditional hop-on, hop-off bus tour in Philly, climb aboard the Big Bus Philadelphia for an overview of the city.

If you decide to stay on the bus, the tour lasts about 90 minutes. Stops along the blue route – Big Bus' only line – include the Betsy Ross House, LOVE Park and the Barnes Foundation . Experienced English-speaking guides offer a comprehensive commentary along the route. While this is the highest-rated Philadelphia bus tour, reviews are mixed.

One Of The Most Underrated Cities In America, According To Samantha Brown
![liberty travel in philadelphia City view of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania](https://www.islands.com/img/gallery/one-of-the-most-underrated-cities-in-america-according-to-samantha-brown/intro-1725016458.jpg)
When compared to major East Coast landmarks like New York City and Boston, Philadelphia may rank lower in popularity as a travel destination. However, after visiting the city in 2009, renowned globetrotter and TV host Samantha Brown deemed it "one of the most underrated, fabulous cities we have in the United States." Featuring the Pennsylvanian metropolis on her Travel Channel Show "Samantha Brown's Great Weekends," she has repeatedly sung high praises for its walkability, affordability, delicious food, and stunning sites.
Though its unsavory reputation for rude residents, high crime rates, and raging Rocky Balboa fans prove it's not always sunny in Philadelphia, according to Brown, there are plenty of things to love about the City of Brotherly Love. From enjoying mouthwatering meals to exploring historic hotspots, Brown's passion for Philadelphia rings as loud and clear as a pre-cracked Liberty Bell. If you're craving a big-city adventure on the East Coast but you aren't feeling a New York City vacation stuffed with Times Square tourist traps or a journey to the current nation's capital of Washington D.C., the unsung hero of the East Coast, Philadelphia, may be just the ticket.
Philadelphia cuisine is world-famous
![liberty travel in philadelphia Classic Philly Cheesesteak sandwich](https://www.islands.com/img/gallery/one-of-the-most-underrated-cities-in-america-according-to-samantha-brown/philadelphia-cuisine-is-world-famous-1725016458.jpg)
Philadelphia boasts many iconic foods in its local cuisine, from soft pretzels to tomato pies. Ranking among them is the Philly cheesesteak, world-famous but rarely done right outside of its own turf. From delis and diners to food trucks and marketplaces, cheesesteak-lovers can find the city's best local eateries almost anywhere in Philly and pick up a hoagie-wrapped treat. The birthplace of the original Philly cheesesteak, Pat's King of Steaks, is a popular locale amongst tourists, operating 24/7 like its rival restaurant, Geno's Steaks, around the corner. According to a Tripadvisor visitor, both joints are constantly hopping, but if there's a line at one restaurant, you can always try to queue for the other. Further east, the famous Reading Terminal Market is home to over 80 locally owned stands, many of which boast versions of the beloved sandwich. You can also explore the thriving Pennsylvania Dutch food scene, featuring merchants with offerings of Amish-style pretzels and hand-rolled doughnuts.
If you want to follow in Brown's footsteps, visit Yards Brewing Co., which she visited on the "Philly on a Budget" episode of her Travel Channel show. Housed in a garage-style locale, the brewery and taproom offers a rotating selection of brews, 8-bit arcade games, and an all-day food menu. Sink your teeth into the Chicken Cheesesteak sandwich, or try the Cheesesteak Eggrolls on their appetizer menu.
Samantha Brown recommends hitting up Philly's food trucks
![liberty travel in philadelphia Food truck festival in Philadelphia](https://www.islands.com/img/gallery/one-of-the-most-underrated-cities-in-america-according-to-samantha-brown/samantha-brown-recommends-hitting-up-phillys-food-trucks-1725018069.jpg)
On her Travel Channel show, Brown recommended visiting the city's food trucks to bite even further into the local cuisine scene. In the episode "Philly on a Budget," Brown listed her top five ways to save money while traveling through the city, ranking "eating at food trucks" as No. 3. Scattered throughout the city are mobile eateries that serve everything from classic deli fare at T&N Homemade Kitchen to sweet treats at Creme Brolee. For a complete selection, every April, the city is home to the Manayunk StrEAT Food Festival, where you can find food and drink trucks and local vendors to satisfy any craving.
After munching your way through the city's iconic eats, you can drink in the nightlife through an assortment of bars, ranging from swanky rooftop bars like Attico to beloved laidback dive bars like Dirty Frank's. Since Philadelphia is passionate about sports, be sure to check out one of their many great sports bars and taverns. Founding Father's Sports Bar & Grill features wall-to-wall TVs to catch the latest game or enjoy a quiz night while enjoying a craft beer. Nearby, McGillin's Olde Ale House, the city's oldest tavern, serves 30 regional brews on draft in a historic atmosphere.
The city is rich with history
![liberty travel in philadelphia Independence Hall in Philadelphia](https://www.islands.com/img/gallery/one-of-the-most-underrated-cities-in-america-according-to-samantha-brown/the-city-is-rich-with-history-1725016458.jpg)
Samantha Brown kicked off her list of "Historic Places to Visit in the U.S.A." with Philadelphia. As the nation's original capital, the home of the Liberty Bell, and the site of the Declaration of Independence signing, the city is rich with well-preserved American history. Brown suggests picking up a map at the Visitor's Center and then winding your way through the most walkable city in America . Philadelphia's Historic District, in the heart of the city, is home to Independence Hall, where you can see where both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were signed. It's open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and tickets are available online . Steps away, the Museum of the American Revolution contains Colonial Era artifacts, artwork, and exhibits that give an interactive overview of the birthplace of the United States. Adult tickets go for $22 online, and the museum is open daily between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
While it isn't exactly a historic monument, the Rocky Statue is a frequently visited site, drawing in tens of thousands of "Rocky" film fans a year to snap photos with the towering Sylvester Stallone replica. Erected in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art where the famous scene of Stallone running up the steps was filmed, the statue is a must-see landmark. Once you've run up the iconic steps, be sure to take a walk around the museum itself. Operating hours begin at 10 a.m., Thursday thru Monday. Tickets are $30 for adults and free for anyone under 18. As one of the nation's largest art museums, its expansive collection boasts over 240,000 works, including Vincent van Gogh and Pablo Picasso paintings, a 14th-century Buddhist temple, and a sculpture garden. It's a Philadelphia gem you won't want to miss.

Philly on Foot
Year after year, Philadelphia is rated as one of the best walking cities in the country. And it’s no wonder why – the city layout is simple to master and our neighborhood streets are filled with fun and diverse shops, restaurants, museums, parks and people.
The compact Center City boasts founder William Penn’s easy-to-follow grid street design. It spans just 25 blocks between two rivers: the Schuylkill and the Delaware. In between, the north/south streets are numbered and the east/west streets have tree names (e.g., Walnut, Spruce, Pine).
Walk from City Hall to the Liberty Bell in just 15 minutes
In addition, Philadelphia’s five original public squares — Franklin, Washington, Rittenhouse, Logan and Centre (now City Hall) — are conveniently spread out, serving as perfect rest stops during a long day out. Curb cut-outs make the city stroller and wheelchair accessible.
Colorful “Walk! Philadelphia” directional signs can be found throughout the downtown area to help visitors navigate even more easily. Center City District, the organization responsible for the award-winning signage, also populates the streets with uniformed community service representatives (CSRs) who act as strolling concierges and goodwill ambassadors. CSRs answer questions, give directions, administer first aid and stay in radio contact with Philadelphia police to promote public safety.
And when the feet get tired, there are plenty of options for getting around town — some practical, some just plain fun.

For a small town with just a few thousand residents, New Hope has an outsize reputation. The Bucks County borough on the edge of the Delaware River is the birthplace of early-20th-century Pennsylvania Impressionism; the location where countless stars of the stage, from Liza Minnelli to Robert Redford, got their start; one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly destinations in the U.S.; and the muse of George Nakashima, a founding father of the American Studio Craft movement whose workshop still operates on the outskirts of town to this day. Add to that its location, about an hour from both New York City and Philadelphia, and it’s no surprise that modern-day creatives continue to gather here, injecting their own flair to its enduring natural beauty, long-established artistic culture, and quirky charm.
New Hope’s origin story says it all: Previously known as Coryell’s Ferry, the town was rechristened in the 1800s after a devastating mill fire. The name was selected to bring hope back to the community, to inspire a new sense of joy and prosperity. That spirit continues today, says David Myers, a New Hope local and president of Bridge Hospitality, which opened the River House at Odette’s hotel in 2020. “New Hope is a town for all,” says Myers. “The residents and people here hold ourselves accountable to a high level of expectation of inclusivity and kindness.”
Here's everything you need to know before visiting New Hope, including how to get there, where to stay, and what to do.

“There’s a reason they call this the genius belt,” says Michael Traupman, director of marketing for the Bucks County Playhouse. “Authors, playwrights, actors, artists — they all flocked here. Dorothy Parker, James A. Michener, Charlie Parker, and George Kaufman all called Bucks County home at some point.”
While many of the most recognizable names in art and theater have put New Hope on the worldwide stage, a new generation of tastemakers is continuing to give visitors the curtain-up treatment. The hotel welcoming them with open arms — and a healthy dose of dramatic flair — is the River House at Odette’s.
Beloved mainstays like Farley’s Bookshop and restaurant The Salt House have cultlike followings — especially after a recent renovation by chef-owner Steven Lau — while newcomers and returning natives like Sean Paben and Emily Paige Paben, co-owners of The Meanings of Things , have arrived in recent years, drawn as much to the creative culture as to the small-town vibes.
New Hope is packed end to end with more of that idiosyncratic and intellectual allure, all crammed into just 1.4 utterly charming square miles. Catch dinner and a Broadway-worthy show at the Bucks County Playhouse ; dine on the fruits (and produce and meats) of Pennsylvania’s fabled farms at Stella ; go around the world in more than a dozen cuisines — and shop local makers while you’re at it — at Ferry Market ; catch live tunes at the Piano Lounge at the River House at Odette’s; and uncover a trove of recherché antiques and curios at any number of quirky shops dotting the town: Exquisite Earth (for rare stones and jewelry), God Save the Qweens (for vintage-punk vibes and loads of Dr. Martens), and Artichaut (for French-country decor).
River House at Odette’s
Named after Odette Myrtil, whose cabaret club stood for decades on this very spot, River House at Odette’s is a glamorous ode, featuring 38 rooms and suites dressed in vibrant florals and punchy patterns. In keeping with the location’s history, the casual-cool restaurant, Odette’s, puts on live music several nights a week. Head to the rooftop club — a local members’ club that’s also open to hotel guests — for alfresco cocktails and bites overlooking the Delaware River.
Things to Do
Catch a performance..
Built on the site of the 18th-century New Hope gristmill that gave the town its name, the Bucks County Playhouse is an esteemed institution with a direct line to Broadway. “By and large, we cast and rehearse in New York City,” says Traupman. “A number of highly recognizable Broadway names cut their teeth here.” Indeed, Grace Kelly, Angela Lansbury, and Dick Van Dyke have all performed on its stage. Catch Broadway classics like Grease , original productions like Last of the Red Hot Mamas , a musical about the vaudeville starlet Sophie Tucker; or the theater’s annual run of Richard O’Brien’s cult classic The Rocky Horror Show .
Be inspired by nature.
New Hope’s captivating landscapes inspired the early-1900s Pennsylvania School of Painting, a cornerstone of American Impressionism. Paint yourself into the scenery today by kayaking or canoeing the Delaware River thanks to Bucks County River Country rentals. Or, explore on dry land at Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve , 134 acres of parkland that’s home to 4.5 miles of nature trails dotted with native plants like the dazzling eastern redbud.
Hit the museum trail.
Go to the Michener Art Museum to see the works of Pennsylvania Impressionist masters such as Edward W. Redfield, whose plein-air paintings prominently feature New Hope landmarks — and continue to inspire the artists who line the riverfront with their own easels today. The museum is also home to the Nakashima Reading Room, a meditative retreat filled with legendary woodworker George Nakashima’s creations. More Nakashima can be experienced at the George Nakashima House, Studio, and Workshop , a by-appointment-only, 12-acre complex with 21 buildings that served as the artist’s family homes and studio spaces.
Shop and eat local.
“What keeps New Hope’s unspoiled charm intact is its ability to stay small and noncommercialized,” says Myers. Local businesses are the lifeline of the borough, whether on bustling Main Street or at the farms on the outskirts of town. Find our shopping and dining recommendations below.
The Meanings of Things
Magnolia Home alumni Emily Paige Paben (a native of New Hope) and Sean Paben are the creative forces behind The Meanings of Things , an eye-candy-filled boutique on North Main Street. Tucked behind its tidy, olive-green facade lined with flowers and ivy is a menagerie of their favorite bits and baubles, from delicate handmade paper flowers to the modern Impressionist landscapes of local artist Michelle Farro.
Farley’s Bookstore
Intellectual gathering place, community center, and historic monument — Farley’s Bookshop is all of these things. The fiercely treasured New Hope institution is revered as much for its curated selection of titles as for the early 19th-century building it has resided in since 1971.
Just across the river in Stockton, New Jersey, Black Shed is a multi-hyphenate concept from landscape designer Joe Liana and partner Laith Abdulkareem. The garden center outside turns into an aesthete’s dream inside, where decor from around the globe comes together in vibrant vignettes of ceramics, floral arrangements, and furnishings. An all-day café serves fresh pastries and lattes; weekends are filled with cocktails in the bar and events spotlighting local chefs and musicians.
Playhouse Deck
A 2018 expansion of the Bucks County Playhouse included the addition of the riverfront Playhouse Deck , which serves American fare like truffle mac and cheese and sea scallops with corn and blistered tomatoes, amid theater memorabilia. (Don’t miss the 1964 photo of Liza Minnelli in front of the playhouse ticket window, taken before a performance of Time Out for Ginger. ) Even better every dollar spent at the restaurant supports the nonprofit playhouse and its mission to build more theater opportunities for all.
The Salt House
Located behind Farley’s Bookshop, the recently renovated Salt House is a legend in its own right, occupying a circa-1751 stone building filled with intimate nooks and crannies. Have lunch in the library lounge or on the riverfront brick patio. For dinner, join owner and executive chef Steven Lau at the Fireside Chef’s Table, where Nantucket Sound sea scallops and Wellfleet oysters are paired with wines from his own Napa Valley vineyard.
Manoff Market Gardens
The ne plus ultra of farmers markets, Manoff does it all (and lets you do some of it, too): pick your own peaches and apples by the pound; sip artisanal ciders, brandies, and eau-de-vies during regular cider nights; and shop house-made and handcrafted indulgences, from apple butter and apple toffee to bouquets and fragrant soaps.
Overlooking a stretch of the Delaware River where artists regularly gather to paint New Hope’s famous landscapes, Stella offers dishes heavy on locally grown apples, corn, and beets, as well as farm-raised chicken, duck, and pork, all sourced from within the state.
Roof , a members-only lounge located on the top level of the River House at Odette’s, unlocks its doors to hotel guests, too. The VIP vibe plays out in arguably the best views of the Delaware River, but the scene is as charming as you’d expect in this town, with casual New England-inspired fare and low-key live music.
Ferry Market
Ferry Market is the gastronomic embodiment of New Hope’s come-one, come-all ethos, with a dozen vendors specializing in different global cuisines. Peruvian empanadas, Brazilian burgers, Japanese crepes, and Moroccan eggplant salad are all on the menu — as are local favorites like Market Pizza and SkyRoast Coffee.
New Hope’s strong sense of community and busy cultural calendar keep the borough occupied all year round. Summer is peak season, and hotel rates — and traffic — reflect that. For a more laid-back introduction, opt for a shoulder-season visit. April, May, September, and October enjoy crisp but comfortable temperatures, climbing as high as the 70s during the day and making outdoor activities enjoyable. Farmers markets and other seasonal attractions remain open well into these months. Winters are brisk and sometimes snowy, but no less engaging thanks to plenty of indoor diversions.
New Hope’s annual Pride Parade takes place every May, while fall brings the New Hope Arts & Crafts Festival .
New Hope is around 70 miles by car from New York City and just 40 miles from downtown Philadelphia. The closest airport, approximately 10 miles away, is New Jersey’s Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN), a hub for Frontier Airlines that serves cities throughout the Southeast. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and Newark Liberty Airport (EWR) are about 50 and 60 miles away, respectively.
