Why you should go…

Philadelphia is where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed, and its historic district still centers on Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Beyond the founding-era sites, the city offers the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a dense restaurant scene from cheesesteaks to fine dining, and neighborhoods like South Street and Reading Terminal Market packed with local color.
