First-Timer Philly Recs?

What’s some must-see, must-do, must-visit, must-try foods, activities, sights, adventures & places for a day trip to Philly for a first time visitor?

I know y’all might have your own hidden gems and this neighborhood versus that neighborhood and I get that…but I’m not driving out super far. Please keep it within city limits, I’ll visit again later for the hidden gems but for my first time what are the MUSTS?

So far I have: Downtown, Reading Terminal Market, Rocky Steps, Liberty Bell, Love Sign, Portal, Waterfront, Del Rossi’s? Any order I should do these if this is good enough?

Thanks in advance! 🔔🦅
