City Information
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.

Museums aside, Winter Park is a fabulous urban outdoor destination. Paddle through Winter Park Canals, smell the wisteria at Central Park, and relax in Kraft Azalea Garden on Lake Maitland. Winter Park's premier urban village has cypresses sweeping over red-brick streets lined with cafés, gastro pubs, and brewing companies. Walk along Park Avenue or in the Hannibal Square district for the best shopping and dining in historic settings.
