5 Best Hotels near Downtown Philadelphia

The original city center of Philadelphia was carefully plotted and planned by the town's founder, William Penn. Inspired by the narrow streets of London, Penn designed Philadelphia with wider streets. After the original founding in the 1680s, the small town quickly grew to a population of over 2,000 people by 1700. Philadelphia soon became an important city in the region and continent and served as a place of trade. Supported by a strong economy, the city constructed new schools and cultural institutions.

Many crucial events during the American Revolution era occurred in Philadelphia. Representatives of the thirteen original American colonies met in Philadelphia to discuss rising tensions with the British. After the war broke out, the representatives met once again in Philadelphia. A year later, a series of meetings resulted in the creation of the Declaration of Independence. In 1777, British forces took command of Philadelphia and occupied the city for almost a year. After the occupation and the war, Philadelphia served as the temporary capital of the United States for ten years.

The Broad Street line runs north-south through downtown, and the trolley lines connect the central business district with several nearby neighborhoods.

The regional rail lines merge at several of the transit centers located within two miles of the downtown area. Passengers can purchase a one-time fare or an all-day pass. These passes are good for travel on the surface street buses, regional and high-speed light rail lines, and the trolley lines.

Most of the SEPTA bus lines operate through the downtown area and run directly to transit centers located in the outlying neighborhoods. Designated NiteOwl buses run 24 hours a day.

Originally situated in the Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell can now be viewed across the street, enclosed in its own glass display at the Liberty Bell Center.

After the Civil War, Philadelphia continued to prosper and thrive

The War of 1812 led to a downturn in Philadelphia's economy. Traders began to import their goods into other ports, forcing Philadelphia's economy to change. New factories began to create a vast array of goods, including paper and shoes. Philadelphia's mining industry also helped to stabilize the city's economy. When the American Civil War began, Philadelphia produced and provided just about any good the Union army required.

After the Civil War, Philadelphia continued to prosper and thrive. The city attracted a number of immigrants from all around the world. Philadelphia was hit extremely hard by the Great Depression. Many of the city's banks failed and closed. A large number of Philadelphia's residents enlisted in World War II, leading to worker shortages in the city. The women of Philadelphia helped the city's economy by taking the vacant jobs.

In the 1990s, Philadelphia went through a period of reform and revitalization. The city also started a marketing campaign to attract tourists. Today, Philadelphia is a prosperous city in many fields, including tourism, business and technology.
