One of the greatest ways to get to know the City of Brotherly Love is through its vibrant and distinctive neighborhoods. Here are some of the best neighborhoods in Philadelphia to visit.</p><h2 class="text-black mt-16 mb-6 article-h2">1.

The rooms on the 48th and 56th floors are designed with floor-to-ceiling windows with amazing city views.</p><h2 class="text-black mt-16 mb-6 article-h2">13. Roxborough</h2><h3 class="text-black mt-16 mb-6 article-h3">Best neighborhood for outdoor lovers</h3><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400">Located along the Schuylkill River (pronounced SKOO-kill), Roxborough has a quieter, more suburban feel while still being close to the city. The neighborhood’s greatest asset is its outdoor spaces. <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/pennsylvania/philadelphia/attractions/wissahickon-valley-park/a/poi-sig/1594595/362106">Wissahickon Valley Park</a>, part of the larger Fairmont Park system, is a sprawling natural oasis offering over 50 miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the Forbidden Drive, a scenic trail along Wissahickon Creek that winds through the lush forest. <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/pennsylvania/philadelphia/restaurants/valley-green-inn/a/poi-eat/1594369/362106">Valley Green Inn</a>, located on the trail, is a historic restaurant perfect for a post-hike meal or weekend brunch.</p><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400">In addition to Wissahickon Valley Park, Roxborough is home to sections of the <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/pennsylvania/philadelphia/rittenhouse-square-center-city-west/attractions/schuylkill-banks/a/poi-sig/1593487/1342267">Schuylkill River Trail</a>, a multi-use path that stretches over 75 miles, perfect for biking, running or taking a leisurely walk along the river. Also, Gorgas Park hosts seasonal events like outdoor concerts, farmers’ markets and festivals that fosters a strong sense of community.</p><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400">Roxborough is more of a suburban and residential area, so seek out short-term rentals close to the river and parks when booking accommodations.</p><h2 class="text-black mt-16 mb-6 article-h2">14. Society Hill</h2><h3 class="text-black mt-16 mb-6 article-h3">Best neighborhood for architectural charm</h3><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400">Known for its well-preserved colonial-era homes and cobblestone streets, Society Hill is one of Philadelphia’s most picturesque and historic neighborhoods. Located just east of Independence Hall, its charm is its 18th-century Georgian and Federal-style row houses and gas street lamps. Headhouse Square, with its open-air market and red-brick buildings, is one of the oldest continuously operating markets in the nation.</p><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400">Significant sites in the neighborhood include St. Peter’s Church, built in 1761, and the <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/pennsylvania/philadelphia/old-city-society-hill/attractions/powel-house/a/poi-sig/1124689/1342266">Powel House</a>, home to Philadelphia’s first mayor after the Revolution, Samuel Powel, offers guided tours.</p><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400">Choose the <a href="https://www.morrishousehotel.com/">Morris House Hotel</a>, housed in a historic building, for colonial-era charm. Or, go for the <a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/phlpnhh-hilton-philadelphia-at-penns-landing/">Hilton Philadelphia at Penn’s Landing</a> for scenic waterfront views.</p><h2 class="text-black mt-16 mb-6 article-h2">15. Fairmont</h2><h3 class="text-black mt-16 mb-6 article-h3">Best neighborhood for art lovers</h3><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400">Known as Philadelphia’s art district, Fairmount features the iconic <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/pennsylvania/philadelphia/logan-square-fairmount/attractions/philadelphia-museum-of-art/a/poi-sig/1185839/1342272">Philadelphia Museum of Art</a> at its center. Famous for its grand steps immortalized in the Rocky films, the museum houses an expansive collection of European, American and modern art with works by Van Gogh, Monet and Picasso.</p><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400">Just down the street is the Barnes Foundation, home to one of the finest collections of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings in the world. Art lovers will also appreciate the <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/pennsylvania/philadelphia/logan-square-fairmount/attractions/rodin-museum/a/poi-sig/1124699/1342272">Rodin Museum</a> with more than 140 sculptures by French sculptor Auguste Rodin.</p><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400">Another landmark in the area is <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/pennsylvania/philadelphia/logan-square-fairmount/attractions/eastern-state-penitentiary/a/poi-sig/1417481/1342272">Eastern State Penitentiary</a>, a Gothic-style prison that once housed Al Capone. It’s now a museum. Visitors can tour the crumbling cell blocks, especially during the Halloween season when it is transformed into a haunted house.</p><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400">Fairmont does not have many traditional hotels within the neighborhood itself, but nearby options include <a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/phlqqqq-the-logan-philadelphia/">The Logan Philadelphia, Curio Collection by Hilton</a>, just a short walk from the museums.</p><h3 class="text-black mt-16 mb-6 article-h3">Keep planning your trip to Philadelphia:</h3><p class="text-md my-6 text-black-400"><a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/ultimate-weekend-in-philadelphia">How to have the ultimate weekend in Philadelphia</a><a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/best-time-to-visit-philadelphia"><br>The best time to visit Philadelphia for your perfect vacation<br></a><a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/getting-around-philadelphia">The 6 best ways to get around Philadelphia</a></p></div></div></div><div class="hidden styles_gpt-ad__BVAfH bg-white pb-3 mt-24"></div></div><section class="relative py-12 md:py-20 border-t border-sand-300"><section class="jsx-f704f42be0b5c3bb max-w-full mx-4 my-16 articles lg:my-24 md:mx-auto md:container"><div class="jsx-f704f42be0b5c3bb"><header class="jsx-f704f42be0b5c3bb flex items-end justify-between mt-5 mb-10 lg:mt-8 lg:mb-14"><h2 class="text-2xl md:text-5xl md:leading-relaxed">Explore related stories</h2><div class="jsx-f704f42be0b5c3bb flex-none hidden md:inline-block"><a href="/articles" class="jsx-f704f42be0b5c3bb btn">Read more articles</a></div></header></div><div class="jsx-f704f42be0b5c3bb relative z-0 lg:flex lg:gap-x-8"><div class="jsx-f704f42be0b5c3bb mb-8 lg:w-3/5 lg:shrink-0 lg:mb-auto"><div class="relative"><div class="relative lg:rounded overflow-hidden lg:h-[688px]"><img alt="New Orleans, Louisiana -
