Philadelphia is a city for every type of person- from the history buffs to the art lovers, the foodies to the clubbers; this historic city has fun things to do for everyone. Crisscrossed by the Delaware and Schuykill Rivers, this colonial haven was established by William Penn in the late 1600s. Now one of America’s most populous cities, Philadelphia has become known for its Americana attractions.
With more history than you can handle, this city is loved by those looking into America’s past. Go-to attractions such as Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell are member favorites. These two attractions along with dozens of other colonial buildings make sightseeing a popular activity for tourists. Museums draw big crowds, and some more eclectic ones like the Mutter Museum present some interesting material.
Reading Terminal is a hub for all things food in the city, with shops and restaurants of every cuisine (and yes, they have cheesesteaks although you might want to check out Geno’s for that). And for some after-hours entertainment, ballets and orchestras are as common as bars and nightclubs.
