Philadelphia, nestled along the gently flowing Delaware River, is Pennsylvania’s largest city. The self-proclaimed “City of Brotherly Love” is home to Independence Hall – the very location the Declaration of Independence was signed by America’s Founding Fathers, as well as the Liberty Bell, a symbol of independence. ‘Philly’, as it’s affectionately referred to by locals, has a vibrant culinary scene influenced by the city’s blended ethnicities. South 9th Street Italian Market or Reading Terminal Market offer a culinary overview. Hallmarks include the popular Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and Philly-style soft pretzel, must-try foodie experiences. Besides the city’s rich history, visitors may want to explore Franklin Institute Science Museum, Philadelphia Zoo, and Rittenhouse Square.
