Make the most out of your day with Old City luggage storage

Philly and Boston can tussle over who owns the best record for being the birthplace of American independence, but both are worthy destinations for a patriotic getaway. Philly’s Old City, in particular, offers the ideal setting for celebrating the country’s early days. Red-brick row houses and cobbled streets are hallmarks of colonial style, and just about every street in Old City exhibits these Instagram-worthy qualities. 

Situated between downtown Philly and the riverfront, Old Town should be your first stop. Major attractions like the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House, and Liberty Bell are all within walking distance. Penn’s Landing is delightful when the weather is cooperating and you can enjoy the riverfront while learning a thing or two. 

Old City’s cultural offerings prove the neighborhood isn't a historical one-trick pony. The shopping is exceptional for both antiques and upscale fashion. Spending time on the riverfront is a must, especially if you enjoy al fresco dining and patio drinks with a view. 

You’ll be getting your steps in while exploring Old City, so stashing the bags is ideal. You can find luggage storage near Old City with the Bounce network of secure facilities. With Bounce, you can store your luggage for a few hours while you shop and sightsee instead of heading straight to the hotel. 

Getting around Old City 

Old City is sandwiched between the Delaware River and the primary downtown area of Philadelphia. The area is marked by the square of Spring Garden Street, 4th Street, the Delaware River, and Walnut Street. It's easy to reach via public transportation as there are multiple SEPTA train stations. It’s also walkable from most of downtown Philly if you pack the right pair of shoes.
