Philly is Best Place to Visit Per Wall Street Journal

Although New Year’s Day is still weeks away, momentum is already building for Philadelphia in 2026.

Recently, The Wall Street Journal named Philadelphia the world’s top place to visit in 2026. This recognition echoes similar praise from national and international publications.

Primarily, the designation is driven by the city’s role in the nation’s 250th birthday celebration. As a result, a significant influx of visitors is expected throughout the year.

According to estimates, as much as $2.5 billion in additional tourism spending could be generated across the city and region.

Meanwhile, major cultural institutions are being prepared for the celebration. Notably, the Museum of the American Revolution is undergoing a major renovation. In addition, new galleries are scheduled to debut at the National Constitution Center.

Beyond history and culture, the city’s sports calendar is also drawing attention. Most significantly, the FIFA World Cup will arrive next summer.

Games are scheduled for June and July, further positioning Philadelphia as a global destination in 2026.
