Philly where is it

Between historic buildings and museums rest in formal gardens and grassy squares where you may encounter park rangers and costumed actors ready to share more about Philadelphia's illustrious past. Founded in as part of the Centennial Exhibition and best known for its front steps, which featured in the Rocky movies, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of the country's oldest and finest public art galleries.

The breadth and depth of the collection is astounding, gathering up antiquities from across the globe to cutting-edge contemporary art. Approaching the centenary of being based in its grand Fairmount Park home, the institution is undergoing a major program of improvements with new galleries and public spaces designed by Frank Gehry. Since Dr Albert C Barnes' eye-popping collection of art, predominantly focused on French masterpieces from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, has taken pride of place at the Center City end of Benjamin Franklin Pkwy.

While the main galleries remain faithful to the collection's original home in Lower Merion, a beautiful contemporary building offers extra space for special exhibitions, gallery resources and a restaurant. This is a virtuoso, one-of-a-kind gallery that doubles as a visual lesson in art theory.

The sound of trains rumbling overhead may be but a distant memory, but Reading Terminal Market endures as a beloved Philadelphia gourmet destination. A survivor of the two World Wars, the Great Depression and the rise of the supermarket, the market stands apart for its policy of barring national chains from its 75, sq ft floor space and for catering as much to daily local grocery needs as it does to culinary tourists and office workers craving anything from Amish doughnuts to Thai curries.

Affections for its florid Second Empire style of architecture have fluctuated throughout the years, but the mammoth stone building continues to stand proudly at the heart of Billy Penn's city — just as the 37ft tall bronze statue of the man stands atop its clock tower. The Italian Market is named for the immigrants who settled here in the late 19th century, starting the grocery businesses that would grow to line several blocks of S 9th St. You may well recognize the market from the original Rocky movie as one of the locations of Sylvester Stallone's early morning runs.

We recommend a slower pace for perusing the street-side stalls, old-school delis, butchers and fishmongers, and stores selling the foods of new waves of immigrants from Mexico and the Far East.
