Things To Do
We both love Philadelphia so much and hope you will too!
There's plenty to do and see around Conshohocken if you want to stay local: take a tour of Villanova, get a coffee at La Colombe, or sip beers along the Schuylkill River Trail.
If you want to head into the City for the day (which you should!), walk from the hotel to the Conshohocken train station (5 mins), take the Manayunk line towards Center City, and get off at 30th Street Station. From there, take a walk over the Schuylkill River Bridge and head towards City Hall, grab an Uber to a destination below, or just anything your little heart desires.
Regardless of what you do or where you go, you'll never be more than a mile or two from a solid brewery, a decent cup of coffee, or something otherwise undeniably Philly.
If this is your first visit, promise to come back when we can show you around properly!
