    Each weekend that I travel to a different city I try to pack in as many fun and interesting attractions as possible. To showcase how easy and cheap it can be to see the country, I do not take any time off of work (I have to work a full 40 hours on each side of the weekend). Additionally, I use a couple money saving techniques like couch surfing and kayak explore. This weekend I am in Philadelphia, and here is my itinerary:
    - Frontier Airlines (19,536 miles used, valued at $224.40)

    I think Philadelphia has beautiful culture, natural beauty, history and architecture as well as the city's overall beauty!

    To all people visiting this city...
    Thank for visiting! They really did covered the basics of what to see... As well as well as how to see it... The only thing I would suggest is try a cheesestake with American cheese instead of cheese whiz.... Stay on buses if you can. Most importantly enjoy! This is a great city with alot to offer! Welcome to Philly!

      @stephenfiora9063 5 лет назад

      my philly raised parents mock me for not liking cheese whiz on my cheesesteak, as if liking the fakest cheese on the planet makes me devoid of culture
      listen to this person and get real american cheese

      @waterfordrs22 4 года назад +1

      Stephen Fiora Sharp provolone.
      And a good Philly Roast Pork sandwich is on another level anyway. Try John’s Roast pork or Dinic’s for starters. They typically come with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe.
      Cheese whiz only goes back to the late sixties early seventies, simply because it’s quick.

    I'm 77 and grew up in Philadelphia in the 50's . At that time the Philly sandwich par excellence was the Philadelphia Italian hoagie with olive oil. It wasn't until 20 years after I left Philly that the cheese steak nudged the hoagie aside as the most well known Philly sandwich.

    • @JAYLOVE47
      @JAYLOVE47 3 года назад

      Wow I'm 33, born and raised in Philadelphia and never knew Hoagie were the top sandwich and came before Cheesesteaks. Thanks for the history lesson.

    One of the best travel-location videos. Nice Nicholas Cage bit. Part of the Independence Hall sequence in "National Treasure" was filmed at the real Independence Hall and part at a fake one.
    Not that long ago you didn't need a tour to go onto the Hall and you could walk through the Square and through the building archways any time day or night.

You got a bit lucky on the Philly cheese steak experience. Joe's is one of the top 2 (MY #1) steaks in the city. MUCH better than the tourist traps!

      lol. Went great. It was amazing up until the end. I went to most of the places by foot. I stayed at an Airbnb near the Penn Campus. On my last night there I forgot to lock my car doors and some red bulls and a phone charger got stolen. Was my fault. Luckily nothing lost that wasn't easily replaceable. Learned a lesson. But overall my experience in Philadelphia was more positive than negative. Would love to go again someday (but definitely not stay anywhere near West Philly).

    To the person reading this, you are who God says you are. You are made in the image of God, The Creator of heaven and earth. Because of His love for you and I, He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for you so that you can have everlasting life and not go to hell. Jesus Christ arose from the dead, He is alive and is the only Messiah, the King of kings, the Beginning and the End. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the whole world. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, invite Him into your heart/life today. Wherever you are, He can hear you for He is everywhere. Remember Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God the Father. Jesus loves you sooooo much so that He gave His life for you. You are valuable...You are loved.
