Temple University Parent Guide
Welcome to Philadelphia
Why visit Philadelphia and The Countryside®? Why now? Let’s begin with the basics:
It’s historic. The Liberty Bell Center, Independence Hall, the National Constitution Center. They’re all within three blocks of one another, and they all tell the story of our nation’s humble but heroic beginnings.
It’s fun. Eating a cheeseteak. Watching the Phillies play at the new Citizens Bank Park. Splashing into the Delaware River while touring town on a World War II-era amphibious vehicle.
It’s authentic. Throughout our distinct neighborhoods, we’re eager to show off the owner-operated boutiques that pack their racks with regional talent, chef-run restaurants that use locally grown ingredients, music venues that showcase the best city-bred acts, galleries that crowd their walls with only-found-in-Philly art and neighborhood pubs that are all about the beer.
