If you're visiting Philly and enjoy exercising, it's mandatory to run up the Art Museum steps a la Rocky Balboa. But for a longer jog, take the nearby trail through Fairmount Park which runs along the Schuylkill River. You can ride a bike on the trail too (grab a Indego bike share), and there are plenty of spots for picnicking, watching university sculls on the water near Boathouse Row, or even fishing.

Getting Around

The Market-Frankford Elevated line stops here, about seven minutes walk from the Hannah Callowhill Apartment. The El can take you to the Amtrak station at 30th Street, or Market East Station where you can connect to any regional rail train (including the Airport Line). Local uses stop outside the station, and there's an Indego bike share located here as well. SEPTA (the South East Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) recently converted from an ancient token system to transit cards, which you can buy and load at Spring Garden Station - see http://www.septa.org/key/ for more information.

Sightseeing

This easily overlooked side-street is our nation's oldest residential street, with houses dating back to 1702. After a stroll through Elfreth's Alley, go across the street to Quarry Street, and zig-zag down Bread and Cherry Streets for a taste of 19th century post-industrial factories, preserved and re-purposed into homes and offices.
