Some places in Philadelphia require a permit, but many do not. Any city-run park (such as Race Street Pier) or building (such as the Art Museum. Water Works, or Second Bank) require a permit. Couples can get around this problem by using locations which do not fall under the City’s purview. This includes the park area and back side of the building behind the Art Museum, Elfreth’s Alley, and Logan Square, among others.
