The best things to do in Philadelphia



Are you going to Philadelphia? Congratulations! The original capital of the United States (before ceding the honor to Washington DC) will not disappoint. There are as many things to do in Philadelphia as there are donuts in their cafes (it is said that the famous Dutch sweet arrived in Philadelphia back in the seventeenth century).

The major places to visit in Philadelphia are closely linked to the key role the city played in the creation of the United States: Independence National Historical Park, Independence Hall (where the American Declaration of Independence was signed), and the Liberty Bell are among the most popular things to see in Philadelphia.

One of the best Philadelphia activities is taking in the city from the skyscrapers at One Liberty Place and Liberty Place, both hallmarks of the city skyline. Other top Philadelphia attractions include its many museums like the National Constitution Center and the Rodin Museum. Feel like Rocky Balboa and climb the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art topped with a statue of the legendary film character, one of the most iconic attractions in Philadelphia.

Music lovers will also find a wealth of stuff to do in Philadelphia. The Avenue of the Arts houses the spectacular Kimmel Center and Verizon Hall, home of the prestigious Philadelphia Orchestra. If you're still unsure of what to do in Philadelphia, make sure to check out all the tips and recommendations from travelers on minube.
