Think a rental car or taxi cab is your only option for exploring all that Philadelphia has to offer? Think again. Philadelphia is located along the Delaware River, making water travel readily available in the region. This is a relaxing and rejuvenating way to explore the City of Brotherly Love. Or get good exercise by opting to walk or bike Philadelphia — the city already has hundreds of miles of bike paths, is adding more, and is actively working to improve the safety and practicability of pedestrian pathways. And Philadelphia also has unique options for getting around that give a nod to the city’s great history.
