Philadelphia's attractions make most sense in clusters. In the east, Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the President's House site and other parts of Independence National Historical Park form one walkable historic landscape. Nearby Old City and the Delaware edge add galleries, surviving street fabric and waterfront space.
Across Center City, Reading Terminal Market and City Hall lead toward the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The Franklin Institute, the Academy of Natural Sciences and the Philadelphia Museum of Art deserve time rather than a rapid chain of entrances.
Farther out, the Penn Museum, Philadelphia Zoo and neighbourhood institutions anchor separate routes. Longwood Gardens and Valley Forge are regional trips, not additions to a central-city day.
