Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, popularly known as “The City of Brotherly Love,” is also the birthplace of America. It was in this city that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States were drafted and signed – two documents which allowed 13 independent states to form the most successful republic in world history.
With the support of Visit Philly, I was able to create this guide, an in-depth resource filled with wheelchair accessible Philadelphia tourist information. Travelers with disabilities will delight in the city’s high level of accessibility, from the tourist attractions and historical sites to the sports stadiums, public transportation system, sidewalks and more. Use this guide to make the most of your accessible Philadelphia vacation.
