Parkway Museums District
Stretching from City Hall to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Benjamin Franklin Parkway is home to Philadelphia’s premier arts and cultural attractions. From renowned museums and historic landmarks to the Swann Memorial Fountain, the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, and the iconic Rocky steps there is plenty to explore along and just beyond the Parkway.
How to Get There
Bus Routes 7, 32, 38, 43, 48, and 49 all serve the Parkway area. The Parkway is also an easy walk from Suburban Station if you’re coming by Regional Rail or 19th St or 22nd St Stations if you come by the T.
The seasonal PHLASH downtown loop uses distinctive purple trolleys to connect major tourist destinations between Penn’s Landing and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It is one of the best ways to get around to more than 25 locations in Center City and is just $5 for the day unless you have a SEPTA Key card—then it’s FREE! Details and a map can be found here.
