What are the top three places to shop while in Philadelphia?
When I am visiting a new town or state, I like to check out the best shopping malls and stores. What would you say would be the top three places to shop in Philadelphia? Is this a popular mall or strip mall? Or is it just an awesome store that is found only in this city. What makes it better than the others, and what is your favorite part of it?

There are so many popular stores, but in my ranking these are the three most popular places to shop in Philadelphia.
*Franklin Mills Mall: In Franklin Mills you would get all the best names and labels in manufacturers’ and retail outlets. Some of these manufacturers include; Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store, Last Call Neiman Marcus, Just OFF 5th and Saks Fifth Avenue.They are located at: Just off I-95 and Woodhaven Road, north of Center City Philadelphia. They are open every day of the week.
* King of Prussia: This is one of the big shopping outlets in Philadelphia, located at 160 North Gulph Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406. They are also open from Monday to Sunday, but the opening hours for Sunday is shorter.
*The Bellevue: is known for luxury and elegance. It is an exciting shopping mall that has its store loaded with almost anything you want from clothing to food. The mall is located at Broad and Walnut Streets, Center City, Philadelphia.

My top 3:
The Bourse
Monday - Saturday 10 am – 6 pm (Year Round)
Sunday 11 am – 5 pm (March through November only)
(111 S. Independence Mall East, in the Independence Mall historic area)
The site of the first commodities exchange in the United States has been turned in to an indoor shopping experience. There has renovation was done to keep the architectural splendor of this 19th century building.
Macy’s Center City (John Wanamaker's)
Monday - Saturday 10:00AM - 8:00PM
1300 Market Street (Near City Hall)
Once the “Grand Lady” of shopping, this Macy’s was formerly John Wanamaker’s. The grand court houses one of the country’s largest pipe organ. If you time your trip well you can catch the daily recitals. The first floor is beautiful, with its high ceilings and murals.
Pine Street
Antique Row
Pine St between 9th and 12th Streets is home to some of Philly's best antique shopping. Great window shopping
And 2 runners up:
South Street
South Street between 2nd and 4th St (heart of South St)
The best place for people watching. Most of the 200 small shops are unique and not national chains. Artisans and ketch and some of the most innovative restaurants in Philly.
Italian Market
Tuesday - Saturday 9am to 7pm
Sunday 9am to 6pm
South Philly
(9 th St and Christian St (2 blocks south of South St)
A open air market. It started out when the people in the neighborhood decided to open make-shift “stalls” in front of their row homes. It has grown into an eclectic mix of farmers market, sidewalk food stalls, and artisans. A must stop for any politician running for President!
