Guidebook for Philadelphia
Sightseeing
Artsy, Alternative, Urban Experience with Small Town Charm, these are the adjectives to describe Manayunk, but it’s really just a collection of storefronts, breweries and fun-to-explore main street high above the river. Worth a trip if you’re tired of Philly center.

The most popular is hiking the trail (Forbidden Drive) that runs along the Wissahickon Creek for miles and miles (you’ll never do the entire trail). Dog friendly and a great way to spend a day if you’re looking for a urban retreat. There are secret (not so secret) swimming holes here like Devil’s Pool.
