Philadelphia County Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

One of the great museum to visit in 🇺🇸

🏛️Philadelphia Museum of Art is famous as featured in Rocky Balboa movie. It is also my favorite attractive place to go with the family. The surrounding area has many interesting sculptures and green space for kids to run around. You can take pictures with the famous Rocky Balboa statue too. I didn’t manage to go into the museum as it is already closed. Wish they extend the opening hour. #wecreate

Philly Art Museum

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5. #philadelphia #philly #museums

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Philadelphia Philadelphia, officially known as 'Philadelphia', is a major industrial and commercial city in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania, USA. It is situated along the Delaware River, facing Camden, New Jersey, across the river, approximately 140 kilometers from the river's mouth. The city boasts large-scale port facilities along the Delaware River, allowing large ocean-going vessels to reach the port area directly, making it an important port in the United States. Philadelphia is the country's former capital and its fourth-largest metropolis. Over time and with industrial development, Philadelphia's significance has faded somewhat, but in the mid-18th century, it was the site where the Declaration of Independence was drafted and signed. Both the First and Second Continental Congresses were convened here. The draft of the United States Constitution was also crafted and signed in Philadelphia. Betsy Ross designed and raised the first American flag here; and the nation's founding father, George Washington, also left his mark on the city. This place is the birthplace of America and American democracy. The name 'Philadelphia' comes from Greek, meaning 'brotherly love', and this city, with a population of 1.6 million, still maintains the feel of a friendly small town. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is much more imposing than the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in appearance, with a beautiful facade facing directly towards the Philadelphia City Hall.

Signed. Sealed. Delivered.

The place where the Declaration of Independence was signed: Philadelphia, PA. Right up Market Street is Independence Hall. Don’t forget to book a free ticket on recreations.gov a few days before you visit. Masks are encouraged inside. If ever you don’t get in, you can still enjoy the sun in the park and go to the adjacent buildings like the Liberty Bell Center, the Carpenters’ Hall, and the Benjamin Franklin Museum. Some streets are made purely of cobblestone and give off that classic historical vibe. It’s also very near Chinatown, so you can easily get your Asian food fix. Pork Soup Dumplings are a must-have!

Philadelphia's Independence Hall

#staycation in the #usa The old colonial administrative square or what they are now, the Independence Hall, Congress Hall and Carpenter’s Hall. These buildings were the main administrative buildings during the English period. However, the meaning for the early Americans is that this is where the proclamation of independence was first read. Interestingly enough, the proclamation was never intended to be a complete separation and succession from the British Empire. It was meant to be a statement to ask the King of England the right to self governance. Because of how fast things escalated and the propaganda on both sides, the revolutionaries sought complete independence. After the reading happened and the vote casted, the now renegade lawmakers found themselves outside the law and had to meet somewhere else. Their first meeting was in the building of the Carpenter’s Hall. Overall, the Independence Hall and the nearby buildings felt impressive considering their history and valour to the American people. #staycation #urbanexplorer #passionpassport

As the only World Heritage city in the history of the United States, Philadelphia is the place where the American dream began. Located in the middle of the economic center of New York and the political center of Washington, there is neither the prosperity of New York nor the orthodoxy of Washington, but it is the real birthplace of the United States. Among the many landmarks, the United States in the Independence Palace, looking for a table to draft an Declaration of Independence to talk about the Independence Palace, as the name suggests, the United States is therefore independent. Originally built in the Pennsylvania State Capitol nearly 300 years ago, it became the site of the continent's first 13 states. Jackson drafted the Declaration of Independence here, and Washington here announced that the United States has become an independent country from the United Kingdom. When the people of the world follow the guides, one by one into the room where the history happened, and when the lecturer excitedly displayed the tables and chairs and the Declaration of Independence that were untouched in the past, the tourists seemed to cross the history and be there. . The independence of the United States is not achieved overnight, but the Independence Palace is the beginning of independence.

The famous Liberty Bell

#bucketlistreboot Part of our East Coast U.S. tour in 2019, Philadelphia has stood out as a strong contender for one of the best cities to visit in the States. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city, is notable for its rich history, on display at the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed) and other American Revolutionary sites. This city started out as a colonial capital, run in many respects as a corporation by William Penn. The famous Liberty Bell can be found not far from the Hall but be ready to queue up to see it close enough and have a few photos with it. The Bell, previously called the State House Bell, is an iconic symbol of American independence. #urbanexplorer #philadelphia

The stunning architecture in these places in Philadelphia is definitely worth a visit.
