My Daughter is graduating high school in May, and booked travel to go to Philadelphia in June to visit the site of one of her favorite authors, as well as the historical locations. Accompanying her is my Wife, both are attractive females, and I worry about the both of them traveling alone, but this is the way it is to be.
They plan on visiting: Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site, Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, and the usual touristy locations. They also are likely to either take a train or drive to D.C.
I don't know if they are renting a car (I don't think they will, it's up in the air), is it recommended, or is the transportation system most tourists use safe?
I have to find out where they are staying, so as soon as I do I'll update.
Thank you Philly local's.
