🇺🇸 | A Full Day of City Walk in Philadelphia 🚶

🏙️📸 🚄 Morning Train from NYC** - Took the **9:30 AM Amtrak** from NY Penn Station → arrived in Philly by **11 AM**. 📍 Stops & Adventures City Hall / Love Park** - Basically a straight walk from the station (*okay, maybe a few blocks’ detour… I wandered randomly lol* 🙊). - **City Hall is stunning**, but the sky was moody that day. ☁️ - From there, you can *actually see the Art Museum* in the distance! 🙂↕️ Lunch @ Dizengoff*🥙 - Tried **Sabich Platter** (a veggie-loaded Middle Eastern dish 🌿). - Overheard locals raving about their **pita bread**, so I took some to-go! 🥡 3️⃣ **Market St. → 4️⃣ Liberty Bell & Independence Hall** - Walked down **Market St.**—lined with shops & unique Philly streetscapes. - **Liberty Bell & Hall** had lines, but the **free tour** (9:15 AM–2:45 PM, every 30 mins) was worth it! Our guide, a lively grandpa, made history **so engaging. 📖 Penn’s Landing** ⚓ - Strolled through **Old City** (missed the artsy block—next time! 😭). - Ended at the waterfront but didn’t cross the bridge. Philadelphia Museum of Art** 🖼️ - **Pro tip:** Open late on Fridays (**until 8 PM**)! - Took the subway (*sketchy vibe though—bus might’ve been safer + scenic*). - Walked **25 mins** from City Hall, passing flag-lined boulevards & museums (*no time to stop… and then it rained!* 😭). - Highlights: **Van Gogh** (no *Sunflowers* here), Impressionists, and **Sor Juana’s exhibit** 🫡. 🚉 Amtrak Back to NYC** - A **15-20 min walk** from the museum along the **Schuylkill River** → straight to the station! 💡 Takeaways** ✅ **Philly = made for walking!** Most sights are close. ✅ **Free tours at historic sites** = hidden gem. ✅ **Art Museum Fridays = perfect for late explorers.** ⚠️ **Subway felt iffy—opt for buses/daytime transit.** #StudyAbroad #CityWalk #Philadelphia #TravelUSA #ArtLover #UrbanAdventures #Wanderlust
