Why you should go…

No trip to Philadelphia is complete without seeing the 2,000-pound symbol of American freedom, crack and all. The glass-walled pavilion pairs the bell itself with exhibits on how it became a worldwide icon for abolitionists and civil-rights movements. It's free, fast, and framed with Independence Hall in the background for the perfect photo.
