Local gems in Philadelphia

Philadelphia rewards those who look beyond the obvious. The Academy of Music, one of the oldest continuously operating opera houses in the country, sits alongside quieter finds like the Ashland Covered Bridge and Augustus Lutheran Church. The Barnes Foundation draws art lovers, while Beth Sholom Congregation — designed by Frank Lloyd Wright — and the Burlington County Prison Museum offer genuinely unexpected stops. The Benjamin Franklin Bridge and Betsy Ross Bridge frame the city's riverfront, and neighborhood markets including the 22nd & Tasker, 29th & Wharton, and 33rd & Diamond Farmers Markets reflect the everyday life of local communities.
