November 30, 2016
As the birthplace of our nation, Philadelphia has its fair share of history. Old City is the area near the Delaware River where William Penn and the Quakers first settled, so it's about as historic as Philly gets. But Old City isn’t just the neighborhood to visit when you’re looking for cobblestone streets and the Liberty Bell; it also boasts many independent shops, restaurants, and a bustling art scene.
For SEPTA riders, Old City has many Perks to offer. Just by flashing your valid SEPTA Pass at a number of different attractions and businesses in the area, you can save.
Getting to Old City is easy. Just hop the Market-Frankford Line down to 5th Street or 2nd Street. There are also many SEPTA Bus Routes that make stops in Penn’s Landing. Additionally, the seasonal PHLASH bus offers convenient access to Old City attractions and is FREE with a SEPTA Pass.
