It is the rare suburban region in Greater Philadelphia that can be enjoyed, without a car. That having been said, you will be able to see more of the sights if you do bring your car. Accordingly, I'd strongly recommend driving there, particularly if you're coming on the weeken...

The Broad Street Subway: The Phillies and Post-Game Revelry (Forget the Car!)

Who needs the hassle and expense of driving to see the Home Town Nine at gorgeous Citizens Bank Park? The Broad Street Subway will get you there more quickly, at less expense, and without the aggravation of traffic going to and coming from the ballpark.
