The majority of our guests tell me that of all the cities they have visited on the East Coast of the United States, Philadelphia was their favorite stop. The more popular things in Philadelphia are the Art Museum (which has the steps from the movie “Rocky”, and is free on Sundays), the Eastern State Penitentiary (the world’s first penitentiary which now offers self-guided tours), Macy’s department store (a beautiful building that has the world’s largest organ), South Street (most popular street in Philadelphia and a good place to get a cheesesteak sandwich), the Italian Market, Reading Terminal Market (where the Amish sell their goods), Elfreths Alley (the oldest inhabited street in the US), Independence Hall (where they signed the Declaration of Independence), and of course, the Liberty Bell.
As well as everything the city has to offer, Apple Hostels of Philadelphia also has a free Wine and Cheese every Saturday night. Wednesday evenings we have a free pasta dinner served up in our kitchen. On Thursdays we have a free Pub Crawl, with 1 hour of free drinks in our lounge before we head out. Our Ghost Walking Tour is very popular on Friday and Monday nights and is only $2. The other nights of week have free movie nights along with free beer.
