The energy drops to something more intimate as you turn off South Street into Bella Vista. Cobblestone side streets and Italian-rooted neighbourhood character create a completely different Philadelphia. Your guide connects the immigration story of this neighbourhood to the broader World Cup theme — a city built by people who arrived from somewhere else and never left.
