How to Get a Cab in Philadelphia

The historic city of Philadelphia dates back to the 18th century. For the tourist, it is possible to see many attractions on a walking tour. The original grid layout of the city only spans 25 blocks. There are "Walk Philadelphia" signs throughout the center to make it easier to navigate. But if it rains or your feet get tired, you'll likely want to catch a cab. That is true for locals too. Several taxi companies with modern fleets serve Philadelphia and its surroundings.
