About
Philadelphia is one of the most exciting cities for history enthusiasts but offers plenty for art lovers and those who appreciate good food and drink. Probably its biggest claim to fame is Independence Hall, where the Founding Fathers of America met to debate and eventually signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Visitors also marvel at the famously cracked Liberty Bell at Independence National Historical Park. At the burial grounds of Christ Church are the graves of Benjamin Franklin and his wife. While many come to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to re-enact the famous scene from Rocky on its steps, it houses a vast collection of works from around the world. The historic Reading Terminal Market dates back to 1892 as the oldest farmer's market in the country, offering fresh seafood, meat, produce and other local foods.
