Hi, I’m mexican guy living in central Mexico. I’ll be at Philadelphia next month to attend a congress. I’m looking for a cheap hotel (less than 100 bucks per night). The hotel should be close to a bus stop or subway to go to the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Date of meeting: from 16 May- 21 May. I’ll appreciate any help from local people (in english or spanish is OK!)

Ever wanted to take a trip downtown but not sure if you’ll be able to understand? Don’t worry, you can leave the kids at home or bring them with you and enjoy some of the region’s cultural and historical attractions which offer programming, tours and guides en español.

This summer, Philadelphia welcomes all families to enjoy the birthplace of our nation.You can enjoy attractions such as:

1. The Independence Visitor Center which has Spanish parking maps and a 30-page directory to the city’s sites
2. Independence Hall which has four-page Spanish introductory to the building located in the East Wing.
3. University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology – Painted Metaphors: Pottery and Politics of the Ancient Maya, running April 5, 2009 through January 31, 2010, is an exhibition that incorporates Spanish wall panels that explain the gallery’s contents.
4. Philadelphia Zoo – Visitors can communicate with zoo animals in their native language while on a group tour led by a Spanish guide, provided they have reserved their time slot two weeks in advance and pay an additional $5 per person beyond the price of regular admission.
