For some, summer is arguably the best season of all, and access to Spruce Street Harbor Park makes this time a year a whole lot brighter. Spruce Street Harbor Park features colorful hammocks, neon lights, and floating gardens as well as food trucks and three bars. Be sure to snap a photo overlooking the water in one of the cantilevered net lounges, which is suspended 4 feet over the river!

Graffiti Pier

What is known as an iconic Philadelphia ruin, is now becoming a public park thanks to the Delaware Riverfront Water Corporation. The striking concrete structure juts into the Delaware River in Port Richmond, but has always been private property. This didn’t stop visitors from snapping photos, until major crackdowns occured due to safety reasons. Thankfully, Philly knows how to spot a good IG setting like the rest of us, and Graffiti Pier plans to reopen publically in the foreseeable future.

We can’t exclude a rooftop on a list of most Instagrammable spots, and at Bok Bar, you can actually see the city skyline since the view overlooks Center City’s skyscrapers. Open Wednesday-Sunday throughout summer, Bok Bar is a rooftop establishment located in the heart of South Philly. Although we think you’ll be plenty distracted capturing that perfect city shot, they do have a limited snack menu. Their sister restaurant Irwin (on the other side of the roof), is open year-round for sit-down meals.
