City Information

Akron

As the fifth-largest city in Ohio, Akron is a hidden gem that not many travellers have fully explored. The city boasts diverse architecture styles across its many different neighbourhoods. For tourists who enjoy the great outdoors, the city features many green spaces, of which Lock 3 Park is the most popular due to its many outdoor concerts and local events. Walk along the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail to take in the scenic views. The city also features the Akron Art Museum, home to an eclectic collection of art pieces produced since 1850, making it the perfect choice for culturally inclined tourists.

You will be surprised to know that Akron was the birthplace of several American staples, such as oatmeal and breakfast cereal. In addition, Menches Brothers in Akron claims to have invented the hamburger, and whether you believe them or not, it's still an excellent lunch destination.

The city's main airport is the Akron-Canton Regional Airport, located 10 miles southeast of downtown. Intercity coaches operated by Miller Transportation, Barons Bus Lines, and Jefferson Lines run through the coach terminal on Broadway in downtown Akron.

Philadelphia

We may feel a little bit more than just brotherly love for Philadelphia, a city steeped in history and culture. Where else can you channel your inner Rocky Balboa on his epic run, and later enjoy an authentic Philly cheesesteak as a reward?

Philadelphia’s affordability (especially compared to other East Coast cities) is just one of many reasons it is among Wanderu’s best destinations for college students. Another reason is how much there is to do! Early American history takes precedence at Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, while museums abound on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, sometimes called the most artistic mile in the city. Head to Reading Terminal Market to fuel up for a night hitting the bars, clubs, and live music joints that line South Street.

Philadelphia is a major hub for both Greyhound and Amtrak, and its 30th Street Station is one of the busiest stations in the country. The plentitude of ground travel and the nearby Philadelphia International Airport make this exciting city very easily accessible, even on a budget.
