Philadelphia Travel Guide

The former capital of the nation, Philadelphia has a great blend of old and new. See the famous Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, the birthplace of the Constitution. Art museums are a-plenty and include the Rodin Museum and the Franklin Institute Science Museum, one of many area attractions honouring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin.

For ‘shopaholics’, Philadelphia is hard to beat. ‘The Plaza and Court at King of Prussia’ is the nation’s largest retail shopping complex whilst ‘The Gallery’ is the country’s largest city shopping centre.

What’s more, you will be pleased to discover that there is no sales tax on clothes in Pennsylvania. During the day, be sure to stroll down the tree-lined avenues, perhaps savouring a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich whilst at night, head for the Waterfront area, with its friendly bars, trendy nightclubs and great restaurants.
