Sobre esta Tip
Race Street Pier sits in the shadow of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge on the Delaware River. Walk up the sky promenade, a ramp that rises about 12 feet toward the bridge, for a close view of the span and a look back at the city. Come at high tide when the river laps close to the lower level, and stay into the evening when the rail lights and paving lights come on. The pier is open daily from early morning to late evening.
