Philadelphia has released an updated version of its popular International Visitors Guide.
The publication highlights the city’s diversity and inclusivity and suggests a variety of customised itineraries that take visitors beyond the well-known icons.
Alongside must-see attractions for first-time visitors, such as Independence Hall, Reading Terminal Market, and Love Park, the guide features specialised itineraries tailored to families, foodies, art lovers, and LGBTQ+ community, among others.
It also highlights 28-plus attractions, museums, and tours that offer experiences in foreign languages, ranging from translated content to audio-guides, to in-language guided tours.
“The new edition of the Philadelphia International Visitors Guide is designed to inspire international visitors to explore Philadelphia beyond the classic iconic sites, and discover Philadelphia’s vibrant street art, abundant green spaces, inventive food scene, historic piers turned into community art spaces and beer gardens, and so much more,” said Svetlana Yazovskikh, Vice President of Global Tourism for the PHLCVB.
“The guide also reinforces that Philadelphia is a multi-night stay destination, assisting visitors to plan their extended stays in advance with plenty of ideas to have a tailored experience, be it sustainable travel practices, luxury experiences, or following along the famous film locations.”
International tourism is a key contributor to Philadelphia’s economy. In 2023, 1.1 million international visitors spent $579 million in the Philadelphia region, generating an economic impact of $956 million.
An international travel hub, Philadelphia International Airport offers nonstop flights to and from 31 international cities and serves as a key East Coast gateway for international travellers.
