If you're visiting Philly and enjoy exercising, it's mandatory to run up the Art Museum steps a la Rocky Balboa. But for a longer jog, take the nearby trail through Fairmount Park which runs along the Schuylkill River. You can ride a bike on the trail too (grab a Indego bike share), and there are plenty of spots for picnicking, watching university sculls on the water near Boathouse Row, or even fishing.

Sightseeing

This easily overlooked side-street is our nation's oldest residential street, with houses dating back to 1702. After a stroll through Elfreth's Alley, go across the street to Quarry Street, and zig-zag down Bread and Cherry Streets for a taste of 19th century post-industrial factories, preserved and re-purposed into homes and offices.
