The city is also nautical, which means that parts of Philadelphia are somewhat historic and bounded by the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.
In Philadelphia, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 32.01 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. However, the city is also quite pedestrian-friendly, because many neighborhoods are very dense and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot.
