Historic Philadelphia
Three Centuries. Three Neighborhoods.
 
It's just one square mile, but the area between Front to 7th Streets and Spruce to Race Streets covers three different neighborhoods, all jam packed with restaurants, galleries, shops and attractions. Each puts its own distinctive spin on history. And together, they make up Historic Philadelphia.

Throughout Independence Mall, America's most sacred historic sites stand side-by-side with the hustle and bustle of a 21st-century city.

The residents of Society Hill welcome visitors to stroll their cobblestone streets and take in the architecture of the centuries-old homes, churches and landmarks that make this neighborhood so picturesque.

And when artists, boutique owners and restaurateurs landed in Old City, they added a funky energy to this former warehouse district.
