A must do....... The Reading Terminal Market FREE Until you want to buy food
Cool City Views FREE
Run up the Rocky Steps at the Art Museum, jump up and down with your fits in the air, and enjoy the view. Then catch your breath, you are at the back of the art museum. Walk to the other side, and look out from the front, you are looking out over the Schuylkill River. Walk down the hill and enjoy a great stroll along the east bank of the Schuylkill River and Boat House Row. Boat House Row is a historic site and exactly what the name implies. There are 15 houses, owned by social and rowing clubs. Each building houses the racing shells used by many of the local university sculling teams. There is a big race every year called, the Dad Vail Regatta.
Also, check out this list of great Top Ten Views, like Cira Green, a park on the roof of a skyscraper!
