Andorra (i /ænˈdɒrə/, Catalan pronunciation: [ənˈdorə], locally: [anˈdɔra]), officially the Principality of Andorra (Catalan: Principat d'Andorra), also called the Principality of the Valleys of Andorra,(Catalan: Principat de les Valls d'Andorra), is a small landlocked country in southwestern Europe, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France. It is the sixth smallest nation in Europe having an area of 468 km2 (181 sq mi) and an estimated population of 83,888 in 2009.

philadelphia Down Town View


Whether you are a local resident who wants to rediscover his or her hometown or someone who is planning to travel to Philadelphia and do some sightseeing on your vacation, I hope that you find this series useful and enjoyable. Be sure to check the photos found on the right side of the page.
When I drive into the city, I prefer to park in Old City as opposed to mid-town. Parking in Old City is closer to I-95 which, for many, is the most direct route into and out of the city. There is less traffic and the rates are much better. I like to park at the lot bordered by Front and 2nd Streets, Walnut Street and Gatzmer Streets. It is right behind the old Bookbinders Restaurant, and next to the Welcome Park. Here's a map to help. If you get there before 10:00 a.m. you can park all day for less than $10.00, a real bargain by big city standards.
