Philadelphia attractions are closely linked to the city’s history. Visit Independence National Historic Park to see the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Declaration House and Benjamin Franklin’s home. Historic Philadelphia neighborhoods include Rittenhouse Square, Old City and Society Hill. Another historic site is the Philadelphia Zoo, the country’s first.Dutch Country is a relaxing and rewarding experience. Central to the area is Pennsylvania’s scenic Lancaster County, just one and a half hour’s drive west of Philadelphia.

Doylestown about 25 miles north of Philadelphia in the centre of Bucks County (of which it is the county capital), is renowned for its Historic District which contains more than 1,000 structures dating from between 1851 and 1910.

HI,Philadelphia is rich in history, culture, and the eclectic. There’s so much to enjoy in the City of Brotherly Love and the Birthplace of American Independence, and here are ten things visitors should see in Philly.

1. Pack up the kids and spend the day at the Philadelphia Zoo.

2. Brush up on arts and culture at the nation’s oldest museum.

3. Relive the luxury and elegance of colonial life Fairmont Park.

4. Grab a taste of everything downtown at the Reading Terminal Market.
Note:The nation’s oldest market (12th and Arch Streets; 215.922.2317) opened in 1892 and is steeped in the smells and traditions of the City of Brotherly Love. (Mondays through Saturdays from 8AM until 6PM)

5. Continue east to the historic district and start with the Liberty Bell.

6. Don’t end your stay without indulging in a Philadelphia Cheesesteak Sandwich!
Note : Every visitor must sample Philadelphia’s native treat: a sandwich dripping with greasy fresh beef and cheese, complemented with onions and peppers. Some of Philly’s best may be found at Jim’s Steaks (400 South Street, at the corner of 4th; 215.928.1911). Each cheesesteak is cooked to order and a very stomach pleasing treat after a long day on the streets.
