Things To Do
It's always fun to be a tourist! This map is the best I've found for the highlights of all the things to see in Philly, the link to this map is here: https://www.philadelphiasightseeingtours.com/bus-tours/route-map/
It includes: Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Constitution Center, US Mint, Chinatown, Reading Terminal Market, City Hall / Dilworth Park, Love Park, The Franklin Institute (has a Harry Potter exhibit in March), The Museum of Art and Rocky Steps with statue, Eastern State Penitentiary, Rodin Museum, Rittenhouse Square, Penn's Landing, and Ben Franklin Bridge.
Uber in the city is extremely accessible and public transit is SEPTA which has an app and is an option when using Google Maps in the area.
