Shopping

If you love to shop, you'll feel right at home in Philadelphia. A shopping mecca, where clothing and shoes are tax-free, this city is full of incredible retail complexes and one-of-a kind boutiques. Some of the biggest names in shopping can be found on Rittenhouse Row, a premier shopping strip featuring such tenants as Nicole Miller, Ralph Lauren, Burberry, Coach, and Tiffany.

You'll want to build some time into your schedule to explore Jewelers' Row, the country's oldest diamond district, and Antique Row, the place to find exquisite treasures and expert advice. For a more eclectic selection of jewelry and art, head to University City, Main Street in Manayunk, or the cobblestoned streets of Chestnut Hill

Just outside Center City you will find the largest retail complex in the country, King of Prussia Mall. And bargain lovers will find it hard to leave Franklin Mills Mall - the official landmark of the discount shopper with its 220 brand-name discount stores - and the Philadelphia Premium Outlets, featuring 150 name brand designers, in nearby Limerick.

Visitors will thank us for this friendly bit of advice: bring an extra suitcase!
