A nice resource if you want to visit Philly


Any book that purports to be a guide to a large city is going to run into difficulties: restaurants come and go--even good ones, so that there will be some obsolescence in the work; some good places will not be listed, simply because of the large number of possible places to visit, dine at, stay at, etc. I have been to Philadelphia quite a few times; this volume is always a great help.

All that said, this is still a good help for those wanting to spend some time in Philadelphia and the surrounding region. The maps are very helpful in getting a sense of what attractions and facilities are where. The section on dining is quite nice, although it does leave out some estimable restaurants; the discussion of hotels is very helpful and has informed me when I have planned trips to the city. Interested in cultural opportunities? The book does a good job of outlining attractions to visit.

And another positive aspect of this particular volume is the description of nearby attractions--from Bucks County to Lancaster County to Hershey to Gettysburg.

In short, if you are thinking of a trip to Philadelphia and/or the surrounding area, this is a good companion to have with you to help plan itineraries.
