Philadelphia

Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, is filled with historic landmarks, cobblestone streets, and vibrant neighbourhoods. Beyond its rich past, the city pulses with art, innovation, and a rising food scene — including some of the best vegan restaurants in the U.S. Whether you’re exploring museums, taking a mural tour, or biking along the scenic Schuylkill River Trail, Philadelphia blends tradition with trend in a way few cities can.

We stayed two nights at Kimpton Hotel Monaco, right in the heart of historic Old City. The days were filled with culture and creativity — from visiting the Liberty Bell to tasting our way through Reading Terminal Market. We explored local shops, took a Segway tour past iconic landmarks, and enjoyed plant-based delights at Vedge. One of the most memorable experiences was the riverside bike ride to LOVE Park as the sun set.
