Penn's main campus areas are indeed beautiful, and you won't see them in your car.

There are also a lot of scenic "nooks and crannies" of sorts throughout Penn's campus that you might not run into without knowing about them.

There's the Biopond (UPenn - SAS - Department of Biology - Biopond yes, that's in the middle of a city!)

There's also a grass courtyard thing on the roof of Huntsman Hall

There's another great mini-courtyard behind Fisher-Bennett hall

There's a mini-park with a fountain behind Steiny-D that's a nice place to sit.

There might be others, too

Two grand new greenspaces are in the works: Palestra Green (the tennis courts in front of the Palestra will be moved to create a wide-open greenspace) and massive Penn Park (the first move on the postal lands. They will be, doing the opposite of "pave paradise to put in a parking lot"
