15 Best Things To Do in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Philadelphia was one of the most important regions in the creation of what is today the state of Pennsylvania. Even today, the city has relics from the announcement of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 in the form of the Independence Historical National Park.

The park includes many historic buildings, such as the Franklin Court, Independence Hall, and Liberty Bell. Although many houses in the city are from the eighteenth century, they have been restored to reflect the charm of this century.

On the west of Philadelphia is Fairmount Park, which has a vast lush green belt, boasting mansions, the Rodin Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In short, the city is a whole package.
