My wife and I (early 30s) will be in Philadelphia in mid-June and its basically our first time.
What area should we stay in? We don't plan on getting a car so we'd like to be within walking distance of public transportation and some restaurants and sights. If you have a particular hotel recommendation, we are budgeting $150 per night. On hotwire I can get the Sheraton City Center for $120/night; good hotel, location and deal?
As for what to do, we'll have four days open to play tourist. Other than the liberty bell and two famous cheesesteak places, what are some of the other must-do's?
If we were to get a car for a day, where would you suggest going with it? or maybe there's enough to do and a car isn't needed?
Any nearby casinos?
outlet shopping centers?
festivals/concerts/events going on 6/17 - 6/20?
From Philly, we are travelling to D.C. Amtrak is $43/person and takes 2 hours. Are thre any better options we should look into? or any tips about riding Amtrak?
