- Pennsylvania: 1 Day in Philadelphia - Travel Vlog | What to Do, See, & Eat in Philly
Welcome to state #30 in our journey to all 50 states in 2021… Pennsylvania! For our time in the Keystone State, we spent one day exploring the state’s largest city, Philadelphia! As you probably know, Philadelphia is one of the most historically significant cities in the US, so we made sure to cram in as much of that history as possible during our visit. From visiting Independence Hall and standing in the room that the Declaration of Independence AND the US Constitution were written, to taking a historic walking tour where we visited the final resting place of Benjamin Franklin, to climbing the iconic steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art that were made famous by the 1970/80’s “Rocky” movies, I’d say we fit in just about as much as humanly possible! Oh, and don’t worry, we didn’t leave the city without having one of the most iconic American foods… the Philly Cheesesteak!

== About Us ==
We’re Matt and Nat, a part time travel couple based out of Nashville, TN. Like everyone else, 2020 turned our world upside down. With more time on our hands than ever and multiple international trips canceled, we were left wondering what our 2021 travel plans would look like.
What we realized is that we wanted to see more of our own beautiful country, so we decided to set out on our biggest adventure yet… to see all 50 states in a year!
This channel is about all things travel & adventure. From vlogs, to tips & tricks, to crazy travel stories, the best foods, as well as product & service reviews, & soo much more.
So please make sure you SUBSCRIBE (it really helps us out) to follow along on this crazy adventure. :)
Canadian here. Went to Philly in November 2019 and loved every minute of it ! Can’t wait to go back hopefully one day soon 🤞🏼💕
Because of your video we booked the walking tour and it was top notch. Perfect blend of knowledge and approachability and not a huge group!! Thanks for the insight.
Life long New Jersey guy here, grew up smack in the middle an hour from NYC and Philly and I’ve always loved Philly more! Love the more Laid back vibe, all the history, and museums as well as the americana feel! I moved and am a little closer to NYC now but still love going down to Philadelphia when I can lol! Great video guys 😊 Glad you enjoyed your visit to the city of brotherly love
You guys are seriously my favorite travel couple to watch!!! I loved this vlog and just love how much fun you two have together. The love and respect you have for each other and for the cities you travel to is so apparent and it just makes me feel like I'm watching old friends on vacation even though I've never met you lol. Great job - I can't wait to see the next episode! 💜
Awww you seriously just made our day! 😭🥰💗 Thank you so much! We really do have such a great time together especially exploring! Aww we are friends girl! One day we’ll get to meet in a cool city! It’ll be so much fun! Thanks so much! Excited to catch up on your videos girl! 💗🥰 - Nat
Growing up around Philly in the 60’s, on school trips the liberty bell was in the open courtyard & we were allowed to go up to the Liberty Bell and touch it and put our fingers in the bells crack.
So many beautiful things about Philadelphia! This whole region is full of revolutionary war history.
Coming from a Philadelphian, there are a ton of great museums along the parkway that are worth visiting as well [philly art museum, barnes museum, rodin museum, franklin institute, mutter museum]
Look at Matt bringing the tunes this time! “It ain’t my fault, it’s that asphalt.” #1 Hit for sure. I’m thinking Matt has bird poo PTSD from Leavenworth WA. So awesome you got to walk on hallowed-grounds to see the birthplace of our Nation 🇺🇸
hahaha right?! lol He's a hoot. lol Oh he definitely does. haha He was like move.. there's a pigeon! lol Yea it was really exciting to live history a bit!
Seriously, Matt can sing! Shouldn't be surprised, as he is a musician.
Love your videos, as always. My son has lived in Philly for nearly two years now (we are from Oklahoma), and we are finally going to go up there and visit him in May! Can't wait. I am a history nerd too, so I will be geeking out for a week!
Aww... Thanks so much, Kent! Oh, that will be so much fun! You're going to LOVE it!! And the weather will be nice in May too! Not quite as hot as our July visit! Lol... Thanks so much for watching and safe travels!😊
Love Philly but I’m from the Western part on Lake Erie in Erie and lived in Pittsburgh. If you’re ever around that way on your travels I think you’d like Pittsburgh a lot and even be very surprised
I've run up those steps!!! And thank you for ALL of the movie references!! 😂
Nice!! Thanks for watching!😊
Wow you guys are dropping so many videos back to back, Keep them coming! Love the channel!
haha Thanks so much Carl! that means more than you know! We thought people would be sick of us by now catching up by putting out more videos lol but you just made our day! Thank you!
Derek and I are watching this video right now and love it! AND you just sparked a convo where I learned he’s been to Philly but hasn’t been able to do the touristy stuff so now we wanna go back so he can see American history! Thanks friends! 😀😀
Aww... Thanks so much for watching!! Yes, y'all definitely need to go, especially since he's never really gotten to experience it! So much history! And fun! Lol😀
After a full work day , this vlog is amazing 😍 😍 and I am so surprised the historical buildings , they make me really feel in 17th century 💗💗
Thank you soo much! That makes our day to hear! :) The historical buildings were such a highlight, knowing all of those buildings and street have seen so much. It was just really cool! Totally recommend checking it out!
What an absolutely beautiful city!
You guys sound like an HGatV show! I love it!!! Newly obsessed 🤩
Aw… Thanks so much! We would love to have an HGTV show! Lol… Thanks so much for watching!🥰
You guys are such an inspiration! Love the videos. Our family has the same goal to visit all 50 states. We’ve visited 10 so far with our kids (ages 9 and 5). We plan to finish by the time our oldest finishes middle school! Thanks for the inspiration!
Awww thanks so much!! Oh that is so cool, It honestly has been the most memorable experience. Oh wow, that's so amazing! What great memories y'all will make! So excited for y'all!
Awesome adventure! Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching!🥰🥰
Wish you could have seen Gettysburg. Soo much history their.
Wow, here is another Masterpiece 🔥 from Matt & Nat. Loving your Travel series guys 🤜🤛 keep going 💝🌻
Aww Thanks so much!! We appreciate you taking the time to watch & leave such a kind comment!
We always learn so much when we watch your videos.
It was cool to see all of the historical places. I am obsessed with Hamilton the musical at the moment so it was really cool seeing all the names I recognise.
Philly looks fun xx
Aww you always make our day! So Glad you like them! Philly is so amazing & getting to see all of the historic places was really cool! Oh that's right! So true. Love Hamilton!
Love to go back and visit Philly again!! You both are so fun and cute together!! Ready for the next vlog!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
We're working on the next one for ya! lol Thanks so much for watching!
Nice video! We went to Philly last summer and did most of the things in this video. Thanks for sharing!
Aw, thank you! And thanks for watching!😊
Awesome adventure! thanks for sharing, watching from Singapore and sending my full support. 😃
Thanks so much!
Awesome video guys!! We loved it, actually we thought about visiting here some time soon and you have definitely motivated us to make it happen. Thanks for taking us with you around the city and for the tips. Can't wait for the next one.
Aww thanks so much guys! We appreciate it! Y'all have to! It was soo much fun!
my dad who liked history I think he would loved this video
my dad would have been happy to go Independent Hall
Philly is a history lovers dream! We loved it!
I didnt know Philly had a food hall, tacos looked great. Now I have to go watch National Treasure again LOL.. Well done Matt and Nat
They were good! lol it's a good movie lol Thanks so much! We appreciate you!
You guys rock. How much fun and amazing is that to walk and be in buildings where the founders of our country were. I get goosebumps just watching you do it. oooh, not to mention Nicolas Cage and Sylvester Stallone!!
Aw... Thanks so much! It really is an amazing experience standing in the same rooms that so much history was made in and walking the same streets that our country's forefathers did! Philly gets a bad rap, but we totally recommend it for anyone who loves history... Or Rocky and National Treasure! 😂
Another amazing vlog! Stay safe and have fun...🙏👍✈🥖☕
Thanks so much friend! We appreciate you!! God Bless!
You ended up in Washington Square where the tomb of the unknown solider of the revolutionary war is. The square is the final resting place of many continental and British soldiers. Across the street is the Curtis Center where the Curtis publishing company was. In the basement is a museum of the Saturday Evening Post and many Norman Rockwell covers.
We did Philly on our New England cruise! Great place to visit! Saw Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell! We also saw Benjamin Franklin’s grave. Very interesting place! Loved it!
New subbie here! beautiful couple loving the content 2 videos down gonna binge the rest!🙂🙃😊
Aww… Thank you!!🥰🥰
Great video....Philly rocks ! Now I want a cheesesteak.
Ok another strange fact from many years ago now, Ben Franklin’s grave didn’t have fence around it and when wife & I were walking around the cemetery and we inadvertently walked on the grave. When I realized it I got off and was shocked at seeing Ben Franklin’s name engraved.
Four suggestions for cheesesteaks next time you're in Philly. Try Tony and Nick's, Pat's, Geno's, and Tony Luke's. You'd probably like his pork sandwiches, too. They're just like a cheesesteak but better.
Ohhh thanks so much for the recommendations!!!
Angelo’s in south Philly has the best cheesesteaks
Ooo… We’ll have to check that out next time we’re there!
When did you go to Philly? My husband and I visited for the first time at the end of September. We really loved Philadelphia and are looking to returning soon. You should take the haunted walking tour next time. Really fun 😃
Thanks for watching & for the recommendation!!
I've never seen your channel before but I work for that walking tour company and my boss (adam) was the guy giving yalls tour 🤣 glad you liked philly!
Ahhhh!! That’s amazing! Lol… We really enjoyed our tour, and Adam was awesome! Thanks for watching!😊
We had Adam as our guide too, he’s awesome!
Awww love that!! He’s great!! 👏🏼 Hope y’all had a lot of fun!!
Philadelphia has a large African American population, which is the reason sweet tea is now a thing. The city also taxes sweet tea and other sugary beverages to discourage consumption amidst the obesity epidemic. Wish you had checked out Dirty Frank's Bar and the surrounding gayborhood.
Just another brilliant video guys 👌👍 matt fancy not running up the steps just like rocky 😂😂 so many of these places u have bin r on r wish list!! Vegas in june to start aslong as usa let's us in from uk 🤞🤞 take care 🍺🇺🇲🇬🇧
Hahaha… Thanks so much for watching! We had a great time for sure! Oh man… We hope y’all’s Vegas trip happens!!🤞🏼🤞🏼 Y’all will have so much fun! 🎉🍾
Yes I think Pennsylvania is one of the best states.
I live in Pennsylvania.
Planning a trip this summer with my son. Visiting DC first for a couple days, then off to Philly on the train for a day. Then up to NYC for a few more days
Philly in here ❤
I loved Philly when I went. I want to go back someday. Reading market had a good food tour.
ohh we'll have to check that out next time we are there! Thanks for the recommendation!
@@AdventuresofMattandNat I think it was called taste of philly food tour
@@lindsayslaughter8234 Thanks so much! We'll have to check that out!
Missing my philly pretzel!!! Loved the vlog as always!!! Do u guys ever NOT have fun?? 🥨👍😂😂🥰🙋🏼♀️
hahah Nope! lol Always having fun! Still gotta google a philly pretzel lol
Philly is a nice city very developed
if we ever meet in person, we’ll have to tell you Andie’s pigeon poop story from Naples, Italy. 😂
Hahaha... Oh man! I bet that's a good one!😂
Another awesome video. :) 👍🏼💕 My son & I have been incorporating your travel videos into our homeschool routine as we study History & Geography. The both of us enjoy your videos so much. We may be sending you guys a postcard soon too. I noticed your P.O. Box in the description. 📮💌☺️
Oh wow! That is so awesome! That makes our day! If we hadn’t already filmed them, I would’ve added some more facts in there for y’all! Thanks so much for making our day & for taking the time to watch & comment! Ohh yay! We LOVE getting mail! (Try & put your address on it) & we would love to send you a postcard as well! 💗🥰 - Nat
@@AdventuresofMattandNat Awesome! Thank you. :) 💖 We love snail mail too. 🐌💌📮 And, yes, I will give you my address. Sounds like a plan. 👍🏼💕 ☺️😊
That Bourse food mart is nearly empty of restaurants. (Summer 2024). There was only two cheesesteak places.
Wow! Hate to hear that!😭
Loved the video. Flying into Philly tomorrow. I will definitely do the history tour.
Did you survive?
Aw, thanks so much for watching! We hope you had a great visit!
@@AdventuresofMattandNat - I was very very fortunate to have the same guide as you guys. I just couldn’t have had a better time. Thanks again for the recommendation.
My favorite Philly cheesesteak is from Geno’s, but you have to also try Pat’s. The best part is that they’re literally just across the street from each other.
Ohhh thank you! We’ll have to try them next time we are in town! 👌🏻
I live 15 mins from independence hall and I’ve never been there🤦🏻♀️
Is the tour you took with Philly Tour Hub the “Philadelphia History, Highlights, and Revolution Tour”?
Great vlog, enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it
You liked the cheesesteak because you finally had a real one
Guess they didn't swing through Kensington Ave
I like Philly. It has a lot going for it, although it always seems to get overshadowed by the colossus to the north. BTW/Matt has some singing chops! Are there any videos we can see of him performing? And what about Nat, can you sing too?
We totally agree!! Philly tends to get a lot of hate for some reason, but we really enjoy it! Haha... There aren't really any videos of me performing live, but if you Google "The Advice Band" you'll find a bunch of stuff from my old band. And Natalie is a very talented singer! You can look her stuff up by searching "Natalie Nicole Green". Thanks so much for watching!😊
Great video I added to my list. You guys will hit 10000 subscriber early February if that
Thanks so much!! We’ve been blown away and completely humbled with the growth of the channel! Looks like we’re gonna have to put together our 10k Q&A video sooner than we thought! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I am watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. The way you enjoy everything and those important tips you share are really amazing. Your natural way of presentation makes vlogs way enjoyable ❤️. Keep it up.
Btw, you're invited to visit Bangladesh. It's full of natural beauty and hospitality. Thanks.
We went to Jim’s for Philly cheesesteaks and waited 2 hours, a line around the block- worth it.
ohh good to know!
You guys are great I'm from okc and I've been to cattlemen yum
Aww... Thank you!😊 Right? We really enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!😊
Why would you not go to Reading Terminal Market!!
I knoooww!!😭 It was on our list, but with our schedule, it just worked out better to go to Bourse Food Hall. We definitely hope to make it to Reading Terminal Market on our next visit!
Going in July. Did you guys feel safe in that area? I’m getting a little nervous.
Hi @gingereee4440! I know Philly gets a bad reputation and yes, there are definitely rough areas, but we never felt unsafe during our visit. I would say if you stick to the main areas of interest, you’ll have nothing to worries about! Hope you have a great trip! Thanks so much for watching!😊
Wow you guys are amazing , keep it up. best wishes from India❤
Aww... Thanks so much!!😊
Good vid! I’m from Nashville as well and taking a 1 day trip to Philly this weekend. Video was helpful. Any tips off camera??
Thanks for your videos. We are planning a trip to the East Coast this summer. How is it to drive, and especially park, in Philly?
Hey, Steve! Parking in Philly is (like any major city) a pain. For this trip we actually didn’t have a car though. We walked and Ubered everywhere and honestly preferred that to having a car. But if you get a hotel that’s convenient to the main areas and has parking, you could just leave the car there for your time in the city. We hope this helps and that y’all have an amazing trip! Safe travels!😊
Hi im from Philly and glad you will be visiting. As far as parking goes please be aware the Philadelphia Parking Authority is very aggressive. No Mercy! Park your car in a lot or garage and walk or taxi/uber. You might think it is costly but the price pales in comparison if your vehicle is towed.
Omg yall are soo cute!!
Aww... You are so sweet! Thank you so much!!!😊😊
Where did yall stay? Were spending a day in philly and trying to figure out the best place to stay the night in relation to where all of the fun stuff is.
Food is great in Philly. Just do your best watching out for the muggers and MURDERERS.
Yea, that’s unfortunately the story for many major cities. Being aware of your surroundings and having a little street/travel smarts goes a long way! We appreciate you watching!😊
Random people aren’t getting murdered lol
Matt with the wife beater vibes 👀
Did yall do a photo map of every state youve been to? Im so jealous. I think im sitting on just 23 states and no clue when i can get to another
What's a photo map!? sounds like we need to do one! lol Well hopefully ya'll can sooner than you think!
@@AdventuresofMattandNat they have ones you can buy but i just bought a map of the us and for each state you go to you take a photo...cut it in the shape and place over thr state. Ill tag u on ig
@@CourtneysCockpit Oh that is a great idea! We will have to look into that!
I live in Pennsylvania, just north of Philadelphia. Not a Philly fan at all. My favorite city in the state is Pittsburgh. Hope you guys get to go there sometime.
Nothing about Julian Abele, the architect who designed the PMA and those Rocky steps. Sigh.
Great VLOG! I can’t wait for your Idaho video! We just posted our Idaho Hot Springs video today…we would be honored if you would watch it! We love America 🇺🇸
Thanks so much for watching y'all! We LOVED Idaho! Just finished watching y'alls Idaho vlog and just subbed! What at a great trip! Sorry about the drone!!😭 We've had some scares with ours for sure! One of which was actually in Idaho! Lol... Remote areas and smart drones aren't a fun combination! Safe travels!
@@AdventuresofMattandNat Guess what?!? Someone found our drone and we’re going to pick it up tonight!!! Thanks for watching and subscribing!!!
Whaaatt!?! That’s amazing!🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love your videos guys I been binge watching for the last 2 days. Love the positive energy, and humour and your openness to experience. You guys are hilarious and complement eachother very well. God bless your relationship and this channel.
One small feedback I would have is to also highlight critical/negative things (whether its food review, the city, etc.) when necesssary to provide a balanced commentary. For instance I love this Philly video - its got great food and culture, but some areas are also pretty dirty/garbage issues, run down and homelessness issues. I know you spent only a day there so maybe you weren't in those areas as much, and I know you guys like to keep it up.
Keep up the great work you guys are one of my fav travel couples! Looking forward to more places! - Oz from Toronto
I posted a city vlog bc u inspired me!❤
Aw… That’s so awesome! We’ll have to check it out!!😊😊
They never mention hoagies in these Phila. videos.
They also never talk about the 19th century /Victorian era which is when Phila became an industrial power.
Its upsetting they took the rocky statue down
I hate to say it but the best cheesesteak I ever had was Jack in the Box when they used to have it
😂😂
Besides the cheesesteak you didn’t have anything Philly! 😂😂😂 Why no hoagies, soft pretzels, water ice, amoroso rolls, Tasteykakes and no Reading Terminal Market???? Good history tour but the rest wasn’t Philly!! 😂😂
Yea... We thought that other food hall was going to have more.. NEXT time we will definitely will go to the Reading Terminal Market! Thank you for the recommendations! We can't wait to go back & explore more! Any particular recommendations for those places?
Reading Terminal Market has everything Philly plus more! And you can eat all three meals and snacks there! 🤣 Look it up on TH-cam, it’s famous for its eats! For cheesesteaks - Pat’s, Jim’s, or Geno’s to get the full Philly experience! 🤣
Its upsetting they took the rocky statue down
Yea, we heard about that!
🐈⬛💗🏇
A true cheesesteak doesn't have peppers.
👍🏼
I was searching for this comment. A true Philadelphian knows there’s no place for peppers on a cheesesteak! 😂
Bro. Your smile is cheesy.
😃👋🏻
Super cool series. Got me hooked !
aww thanks so much! 🥰 We are super excited to have you here on the adventure with us! 🎉🎉
I want a Philly cheese steak sandwich.
