Plan a memorable group visit to
Philadelphia
Philadelphia welcomes groups of all sizes to explore the
city's countless historic sites, world-renowned museums,
popular attractions, and more.
Located just 90 miles from New York City and 135 miles
from Washington, D.C., Philadelphia is a true destination of
discovery for groups. Here, groups can explore the nation's
most historic square mile at Independence National Historical
Park, marvel at Philadelphia's unparalleled collection of
public art (which includes colorful murals and sculptures),
view groundbreaking exhibitions at iconic museums, and
enjoy waterfront vistas, lush community parks, and miles of
group-friendly trails in one of the largest city-owned urban
park systems in the nation.
Philadelphia's historic sites tell America's founding story
through unique and meaningful experiences. No visit is
complete without a trip to Independence National Historical
Park, home to Independence Hall-a UNESCO World Heritage
Site-where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution
were debated and signed, and the famous Liberty
Bell, a symbol of freedom. Just two blocks away, groups can
stop by the National Constitution Center, the only museum
dedicated to the Constitution, and then continue the history
lesson at the Museum of the American Revolution before
ending the day with a picturesque stroll down Elfreth's Alley,
America's oldest continuously inhabited residential street.
Voted as the 2024 " Most Walkable U.S. City " by USA Today
10Best, Philadelphia provides convenient and walkable access
to the city's extensive portfolio of hotels, attractions, and

groups have a myriad of options to enjoy-from roast pork
sandwiches to bakery delights and more. Philadelphia also
offers an assortment of group-friendly restaurants, including
sit-down options and food on-the-go. Looking for some
afternoon activities? Enjoy a performance in one of the city's
many theaters or indulge in some of the city's best food with
City Food Tours. There are plenty of options to keep groups
entertained during their trip.
