Queen Village

Named after Queen Christina of Sweden, Queen Village is one of Philadelphia’s first neighborhoods, predating William Penn and the founding of the city of Philadelphia itself. Though it’s populated by some of the oldest residences in Philadelphia, Queen Village simmers with modern energy, making it an ideal neighborhood for visitors who love to keep their fashion, food and fun low-key and local.

Queen Village is home to South Street, one of Philadelphia’s busiest nightlife and shopping areas. Aside from South Street, the remainder of Queen Village is quieter, featuring residential streets peppered with restaurants, shops and historic buildings. The longest-established neighborhood in this close-knit slice of Philly, Queen Village is extremely accessible and navigable by foot and bicycle, a perk not lost on residents who are particular about dining, drinking and shopping close to home.
