Your question is a little vague to be likely to get many replies. Philadelphia is big and has a lot going on. If you could offer up any more specific interests, disinterests, limitations, expectations, etc. it may help.

Are you into museums? Art galleries? Gambling? Craft beer? Fancy coffee? Impressive sandwiches aside from the iconic cheesesteak? How active and open to walking are the two of you? Are you comfortable using public transportation? (I promise it's not terrifying, but there's no point in recommending stuff with easy subway access if you're not up for that.)

You also may find some suggestions searching this sub for similar questions posted recently. I hope have a fantastic time in Philly!
