The Avenue of the Arts is an architectural destination as well as a cultural hotspot, thanks to landmarks like the Academy of Music (built in 1857), Union League of Philadelphia (built in 1865), and the Ritz-Carlton (housed in a historic bank building from 1908).

Don’t miss the chance to dine on the Avenue of the Arts. Highlight restaurants in the area include Volvér, Estia, and Oyster House.

When you stroll the Avenue of the Arts, watch for the Music Walk of Fame: Located on South Broad between Walnut and Spruce Streets, it honors numerous leading musicians.
