29 December 2006 Winter a 'great time' to visit Philadelphia
Boasting fine historical and architectural sights, Philadelphia is a "popular" destination for many travellers from across the globe.
Visiting in the winter can provide tourists with an opportunity to explore a different side of the city, with open-air ice skating, spa treatments and fine cuisine on offer, according to PhiladelphiasBest.com.
Aside from the city's museums and historical buildings, such as the Independence Hall, visitors can experience the "hottest" jazz at Zanzibar Blue or a diverse range of shops, restaurants and clubs on South Street.
"Much of the best attractions in Philadelphia are within walking distance to one another, making it the perfect place for carefree sightseeing - whatever the time of year," the firm claims.
Craig Staniland, underwriting director at swiftcover.com, recently said that tourists taking short breaks often "fail to take advantage" of the best travel deals.
