About the Reading Terminal Market
Located near Rittenhouse Square, the Reading Terminal Market is one Philadelphia’s most popular destinations. The Reading Terminal Market is one of the nation’s oldest public markets, and was opened in 1893, named for the facility it used belonging to the Reading Railroad Company. The market’s opening was largely due to a push by the city to move its markets indoors at the time. Now, the Reading Terminal Market is home to dozens of restaurants and stores, making it a great destination to grab a bite or buy a souvenir during your stay in the city.
Fun Fact: Reading Railroad, the company after which the market is named, is featured on the Monopoly board game!
