It's a neighborhood inside Philadelphia which is composed of many smaller districts. It runs next along the Delaware River and is best known for Elfreth's Alley and The Betsy Ross House. It occupies several blocks in the heart of Philadelphia which are also parks and residential areas. It is a beautiful sight!

Olde City is a neighborhood in Philadelphia near the Delaware River in the area known as Center City. It's the home of Betsy Ross' house along with a lot of other historical buildings that date back more than two centuries. "Olde" is how it was originally spelled, but it also goes by the more modern "Old City" too.
