We all have our favorite Instagram niches that we enjoy following, whether it’s foodies, impossible nail art, or you favorite celebs. But we at Her Campus Drexel think the city of Philadelphia is one niche not to be overlooked. If you’re unsure where to begin expanding your feed to include photos of the City of Brotherly Love, no worries! I’ve compiled a list of the five best accounts that each feature all that this lovely city has to offer.
Each photographer has his or her own twist — from unique photos of quintessential landmarks, great events, delicious local food, and beautiful hidden spots you’ve never heard of. If you love Philadelphia as much as the rest of us, following these accounts will have you feeling as if you’re constantly traveling around the city

Austin shows us a whole different side of something you wouldn’t normally spend two seconds looking at: doors. Who knew there were so many interesting and colorful doors in Philadelphia? He also features a city-goer’s favorite view: artistic graffiti.

Albert Lee, of Urphillypal, shows a different perspective to everyday views. You won’t see a typical skyline on his account. Albert takes exciting trips to monuments and attractions around Philadelphia so you can get an up-close portrait of your favorite parts of Philly.
