Where will you be going on your winter getaway this year? Imagine the criteria for the perfect cold-weather vacation spot: the possibility of snow, lots of activities to do in the area, great holiday traditions to keep you feeling merry, and scenery that will be Instagram-perfect. According to U.S. News & World Report, Philadelphia fits the bill to a tee.

The publication listed the best winter getaway spots for every state, and Philadelphia was chosen for Pennsylvania. The City of Brotherly Love drew high marks for its multitude of exciting and world-class attractions, landmarks, and museums.

Philadelphia makes for the perfect winter getaway!

U.S. News & World Report enthused about the city’s charms: ““With world-class museums and storied landmarks, a dynamic culinary scene and lively seasonal events, the City of Brotherly Love wins over culture vultures, foodies, urbanites and history buffs alike. Revelers can catch the Mummers Parade on New Year’s Day, when scores or visitors flank JFK Boulevard to catch sight of the bright floats and ornate costumes of dancers and performers. And as temperatures drop, visitors flock to the city’s renowned art and architecture institutions – the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a must not only for its iconic Rocky Steps but also its top-notch collections – and of course destinations that commemorate America’s birthplace, including Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell Center.”
