Philadelphia Attractions:
Said to be, 'dear to
the hearts of America's fiercest flag-wavers', Philadelphia offers
visitors a good deal more than 300-years of heritage. However, it is
a living monument to the historic ideals that gave birth to the
United States of America, in particular, Independence Hall, part of
Independence National Park, the home of the famous fractured Liberty
Bell. Today, it is recognized as a major cultural center with
world-class museums, performing arts and some stunning architecture.
Even the briefest stay in Philadelphia will acquaint you with this
heritage, but remember, theres a good deal more on offer in
Americas fifth largest city besides history.
