VISIT PHILADELPHIA Manifesto

Philadelphia surprises people.

It reveals its multifaceted, captivating personality to them block by block, mural by mural, garden by garden, neighborhood by neighborhood.

Here, 100-year-old cheese shops happily live a few doors down from lauded chef-run restaurants. There’s so much art; it’s inside, outside and on the sides of buildings. The corner bar thrives, and just about everyone is a craft beer enthusiast. Clothing design, building design and park design inspire. Creativity bursts from art galleries, modern dance troupes, street performances, story slams, concerts and DJ parties.

Philadelphians count on festivals for any and all reasons, bike trails for fun and bike lanes for transport and, most importantly, on people just being themselves.

VISIT PHILADELPHIA invites people to … well, visit Philadelphia for fun.
We believe in the power of travel; it shapes a person and expands horizons. Philadelphia delivers on our promise of an urban, main street, foodie, historic, cultural, cool, eye-opening, independent experiences. It’s one destination, five counties, countless things to do.

Philadelphia is our job and our passion. Some may call us Philly freaks, and we’re OK with/proud of that.

We want people to get to know Philadelphia. Smile at our ads; click around our website; watch our videos; follow us on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram and the rest.

But mostly, we want people to visit Philadelphia over and over again.

And love it like we do.
