Among all the Philadelphia things to do, walking or strolling is the most vital activity as without this you just cannot explore the major tourist attractions here. So, if you ask me, I would say that the American city of Philadelphia is the city of pedestrians. This seems like breaking news for the walkers. In this article, I will tell you about some interesting Philadelphia things to do.

Welcome to the largest landscaped park in the USA – the Fairmount Park along the Schuylkill River! It is a world-renowned park with its green parkland and major attractions. The striking highlights are the Japanese House and its Garden, the Boathouse Row holding an array of 19th century riverside structures, 18th and 19th century buildings out of which only some can be explored, and the Philadelphia zoo. Hey, the exploration is not yet over. There are still activities such as jogging and cycling to be undertaken. Check out for 215 miles of scenic trails out of which the most popular is the paved 25-mile Schuylkill River Trail along the inspiring riverside.

Be the part of the Lights of Liberty Show where you make an entry into the period of American Revolution. This sound-and-light presentation, via its technology, shows its magic in the Independence National Park boasting the historic buildings on which the images are flashed to show the locations of the real events. The background music, special effects, and drama are all very engaging and that the show is available in five languages.

If you are a true gourmet, head to the Italian Market set up by the Italian immigrants, which is now 125 years old. Located in south Philadelphia, this is the largest outdoor food market on the planet and among the oldest markets in the continent. Buy some imported and domestic products such as cheeses, spices, fresh pastas, and dry goods. There are many restaurants too here run by the family members.
