Phil-leave City Limits: One of the best things about having your own car rental from Philadelphia airport? Being able to take your talents on the road and explore beyond the city. An hour and a half from Philly you’ll find the charming landscapes of Brandywine Valley and Kennett Square. Nearby Longwood Gardens features over 11,000 kinds of botanicals and wildflowers, and Va La Vineyards is the spot to sip on vino straight from the vineyard. Or zip 90-ish miles to get to Cape May, New Jersey and see one of the most idyllic beach towns in the country, complete with unbelievably charming Victorian houses. Less than two hours in your rental will also get you to Amish Country in Lancaster County, where you can encounter not only horse and buggies but trendy options for food and drink.

Outside Guide: This city has a ton of amazing outdoor spaces to see, and cruising around in your car rental from Philadelphia International Airport makes them a breeze to take in. Reading Viaduct (aka the Rail Park) is the perfect first stop. It’s an elevated former rail station that now features a linear park with pop-up gardens and killer views. If you want to really step outside the box(ing) on your city tour, stop by the always triumphant “Rocky” stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. All about breathing in some fresh air? Fairmount Park offers over 2,000 acres of scenic greenery to explore.

History 101: Whether you’re looking to bone up on your American history or you’re just a fan of movies about Nicolas Cage trying to steal the Declaration of Independence, Philadelphia has a lot of historical attractions to see. Some of the most iconic include the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (the birthplace of the documents), and several noteworthy national museums to keep you busy for days. Your high school history teacher would be so proud!

Bites to Phill-y You Up: After you’ve gassed up your PHL car rental, it’s time to fill up on the best food this city has to offer. There are so many staple dishes that Philly is known for, starting with Scrapple at Down Home Diner—a pan-fried, loafy Dutch breakfast that combines pork scraps and cornmeal. Keeping it porky, a roast pork sandwich at DiNic’s is a must. But let’s be honest—everyone’s here for a mouth-watering cheesesteak, and one of the top picks to try is at Angelo’s Pizzeria. If you’ve still got room for more, a sweet (and cold) end to your Philly food tour can be found with a water ice from John’s Water Ice. “Water” way to top things off.
