Publisher Description

Most people think that Philadelphia = Liberty Bell, but that's only the prologue. Yes, you can find the Bell, Independence Hall and the Congress Hall in Independence National Park, but venture further and you'll find hidden delights. For instance a few blocks away is Elfreth's Alley, the oldest residential street in America that is still home to families and professionals but reverts to its historic legacy with special events held throughout the year. Reading Terminal Market is a gastronomic payday, a giant public market that houses the most delicious offerings from around the region. And then there is cheesesteak perhaps one of the most passionate subjects in Philadelphia. You are either a Gino's or Pat's fan. If you're visiting, be judicial and try both.

Looking at the STREETWISE® map of Philadelphia, you'll notice that the city is dissected by the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers. Between the Schuylkill and Delaware are the downtown business district, Independence Park, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Society Hill and Penn's Landing. The west side of the Schuylkill is University City where The University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University are located.

The STREETWISE® map of Philadelphia lays all this out for you and enables you to master the city and region. The insets on STREETWISE® Map Philadelphia include the Septa transit system and a Philadelphia Centre City bus map. The expanded inset map of Independence Park will enable you to locate all the historic sites of Philadelphia. Use the Philadelphia Area Map to navigate throughout the Philadelphia area and the regions beyond. Find the Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary, or Philadelphia International Airport, or the Cherry Hill Mall.
