[QUOTE="brapkurst, post: 1122888, member: 44684"] LTC, I obviously don't know where you're staying at but as with most major cities the hotel "areas" are in the surrounding suburbs or in Center City Philadelphia (aka downtown). These areas will be totally safe to walk around and explore in. When I was there we took the 125 bus from King of Prussia Mall to Center city at noon and caught one of the last buses out to King of Prussia at 10 PM. No problems were encountered at all and this was on Monday night after drinking haha. A word of advice though is that the Philadelphia Subway is BY FAR the worst, which means filthiest, mass transit I have rode on. There are lots of good watering holes about 5 blocks south of Liberty Place. One definite place to hit is Monks, which was rated a top 5 place in the world to have a beer. I believe there were about 400 of them on the menu! This area is where a lot of the graduate students that go to the local universities live (especially UPENN). It almost reminded me of Boston a bit with the atmosphere and brick row houses. Do stay away from West Philadelphia and North Philadelphia as these are the especially crime ridden areas. These is no reason a person would visit these areas anyways as no attractions are near here.
