Parks & Nature

Nice little park to walk to on the Delaware River. If you walk (keeping the river on your left) for a while you'll pass under the Ben Franklin bridge, Race St Pier and Cherry St Pier. Then you'll be in Old City. You can then make a right (with the river to your back) and go see the colonial Philadelphia sites.

About 20 minutes from Fishtown, but a lovely hike on an old carriage road along a beautiful creek. The only hill climb you'll get in Philly. Forbidden Drive (the old carriage road) is one of my favorite bike paths. You can stop along the route at Valley Green Inn.

Sightseeing

Skip the Rocky statue and go see some art! The Cy Twombly and Duchamp collections are unbeatable. But don't forget to check out the view after you run up the steps. Don't miss the gardens on the back side of the museum.

Natural science museum; animal skeletons, fossils, taxidermy. Sort of a museum of a museum and a bit creepy-besides the lights and the radiators it hasn't been changed since the 1850s. Very cool auditorium.
