A detailed guide to key spots in the city

🎨 Philadelphia Museum of Art Tickets: $30 for adults, $14 for students (ID required), free for under 18s. Such a great deal for art lovers 🎟️! Hours: Mon, Thu, Sat, Sun: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Tue, Wed: Closed Fri: 10:00 AM – 8:45 PM (ideal for evening visits to beat the crowds!) Parking Tip: There’s a parking lot right in front of the museum. The first 4 hours cost $20—don’t forget to ask staff at the ticket counter for a parking code! Without it, you’ll end up paying $39 for 4 hours (total money saver alert ⚠️). 📚 Lin Huiyin’s Former Residence (Near UPenn) It’s located right in the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) campus area. Once Lin Huiyin’s dorm, it’s now a cozy used bookstore—small enough to browse in about 5 minutes, but filled with charm. Grab a coffee nearby and spend a few quiet minutes flipping through old books 📖! 🎓 University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) – We parked at the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s lot and walked over—super convenient 🚗. 1. Penn Museum (Archaeology & Anthropology Museum) Tickets: $18 for adults, $13 for students. Must-Sees: Real Egyptian mummies (fascinating for history buffs 🧟♂️) and the Chinese "Six Horses of Zhao Mausoleum" reliefs (iconic ancient Chinese artifacts—absolute highlights of the collection 🐎)! 2. LOVE Sculpture The famous red "LOVE" statue is a Philadelphia staple! Perfect for a fun group photo or solo snap—don’t miss this Instagram-worthy spot 💖. 3. Benjamin Franklin Statue A tribute to one of America’s founding fathers. Stand next to it for a quick history-themed photo—great for remembering your trip 🗿. 4. Fisher Fine Arts Library Known as the "beautiful red house," this library has stunning architecture. Even if you don’t go inside, the exterior alone is worth stopping for a picture 📸. 5. Penn Commons A lively green space on campus. Sit on a bench for a break, watch students pass by, or enjoy a snack—great for soaking up UPenn’s campus vibe 🌳. Entry Note: Security checks are required (quick and easy!), no reservation needed. 🏛️ Independence Hall No-Reservation Window: Visit between 9:00 AM – 9:50 AM, and you don’t need a reservation—perfect for last-minute plans ⏰! Reserved Tours (Mandatory Outside the No-Reservation Window): 20-minute tour (1st floor only) 40-minute tour (1st & 2nd floors) Reservation fee: $1 per person (book in advance via the official website to secure your spot 🎫). Entry Note: Security checks are required—arrive a few minutes early to avoid rushing! #BaselArtMoment #PhiladelphiaDowntown #PhiladelphiaGuide
