Part of the most historic square mile in the country, Old City is home to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and many other iconic landmarks that tell the story of America’s birth. What once was a neighborhood comprised of factories and warehouses have been replaced with condos, art galleries, and independent boutiques. One thing that hasn’t changed? Cobblestone streets. Where else in Philly could you follow the footsteps of the Founding Fathers? This neighborhood is tourist heavy during the day with young professionals enjoying the nightlife scene into the wee hours of the morning.
