Philly’s so hot right now!

Philly was ranked the fourth most walkable city (population 300K or more) according to Walk Score. Philly only trails New York, San Francisco & Boston, respectively.

Philly Ranked #4 Most Walkable City in 2016

According to Walk Score, Philadelphia has a “very walkable” city, with most errands able to be accomplished on foot. Additionally, due to Septa & such, we have “good” public transportation. However, there’s room for improvement on the biking: we’re ranked “somewhat” bikeable due to the small amount of bike infrastructure.

You can also visit the website to find out your neighborhood’s Walk Score. (Bella Vista, my neighborhood, is a 99!)
