Some of the best things do in the Philadelphia region are free, or close to it. The city’s many low-cost or no-cost attractions include historic Independence Hall, student recitals at the esteemed Curtis Institute of Music, monthly Sunday mornings at the Barnes Foundation and a $5 dinner-and-a-show series at FringeArts. Here’s a list of great Philly experiences for visitors on a budget. https://www.visitphilly.com/media-center/press-releases/affordable-free-attractions-in-philly/

America’s oldest—and possibly most charming—continuously inhabited street, is perfect for tiptoeing along the cobblestones and exploring its quaint museum. Weekend tours of Elfreth’s Alley (above) are available Friday through Sunday. Credit: photo by J. Fusco for VISIT PHILADELPHIA®
