Located in the true center of Philadelphia, the City Hall Visitor Center allows visitors to experience one of the City’s most iconic buildings. Our knowledgeable Visitor Services Representatives offer visitor essentials including maps, brochures, souvenirs and trip itineraries. Interior and Tower Tours of this architectural treasure are available.

I’ve always admired the architectural beauty of this building, and I’ve wanted to do the “Building Tour” (which includes the Tower tour) for a long time. Our tour guide was Walker, and he was very knowledgeable about the history of the building. He took us outside to see statues, the courtyard, and different historical vantage points of the building. Inside, there are many murals depicting events relevant to the history of Philadelphia, as well as beautiful meeting rooms . It was a gorgeous day to visit the Tower, and the views were spectacular! A word of warning though- the elevator to the top is extremely small, and an only fit 4 people at a time. I’d highly recommend this trip!

This is a completely different experience from Fallingwater, but no less spectacular. I would not say that this is actually a typical Usonian home built for the "masses" since, in this case, it cost about 10x as much to build as the comfortable suburban house where I grew up, which was of equivalent size and built at approximately the same time. The design balances solid practicality with creative features in wood and stone. I like how the house was designed to be integral to the site rather than designed and then just plopped on the site. After the tour, you can walk around the grounds to view the extensive collection of sculpture (most of which left me scratching my head but, oh well, the woods were lovely), and it is a pleasant walk back down the hill to the visitor center/gift shop/cafe. Access to the house is via winding country roads, so leave yourself plenty of time to get there.

The best walking and biking route in the city is along the Schuylkill River. The cluster of 15 rowing clubs host a variety of rowing and running events each year.

These mostly historic boathouses are private, but there is a public place to rent boats and another for bikes or surreys. The view from Martin Luther King Dr (FKA West River Drive) is beautiful -- day or lit-up at night. Biking, hiking, driving, or picnicking along the water is lovely and can be busy but never overly crowded except on regatta days! There's an ok cafe for a beverage or snack near the bike rentals on Kelly Drive (fka East River Drive).

We walked through the town enjoying the skating rink and all the holiday stuff surrounding this area. Great way to get into the holiday spirit!
