Old City

Old City brings together founding-era landmarks, converted industrial buildings and the Delaware waterfront. It works best for travelers seeking the strongest walking base for connecting national history with galleries and maritime sites.

Old City

Why go

Plan Old City around the strongest walking base for connecting national history with galleries and maritime sites. Its defining thread is founding-era landmarks, converted industrial buildings and the Delaware waterfront. Narrow streets preserve an early commercial scale east of Independence Mall. Start before the central historic sites become busy.

What to look for

  • Narrow streets preserve an early commercial scale east of Independence Mall.
  • Former warehouses now hold apartments, studios and cultural venues.

Useful to know

  • Start before the central historic sites become busy.
  • Wear comfortable shoes for cobbles and uneven paving.
