Enjoy the city’s outdoor spaces, like Fairmount Park or the Schuylkill River Trail. 

 

Sports are a big part of Philadelphia’s identity. The city’s residents are known for their intense loyalty to their teams, particularly the Eagles, Phillies, 76ers, and Flyers. Whether it's football season or baseball, the energy and passion for local teams are palpable, and it's not unusual to see fans decked out in green jerseys year-round.
