Must-see attractions

Independence National Historical Park

　　This L-shaped Philadelphia park, bound by 6th, 2nd, Walnut and Arch Sts, protects and honors the institutions that formed the foundation of the United States. Every American school child knows the stories of the venerated monuments dotted around Independence National Historical Park, and the world-changing events that happened here; for...

Independence Hall

　　The 'birthplace of American government', this modest, early 18th-century Georgian building is where delegates from the 13 colonies met to approve the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Expect a line out the door and around the block for this one – as the centerpiece of Philadelphia's Independence National...

Philadelphia Museum of Art

　　The premier cultural institution in Philadelphia, this epic art museum would stand out even without Rocky's famous antics on the east steps. Every visitor is entitled to one two-gloves-raised salute to the city at the top of the stairway before leaving the movies behind and concentrating instead on the great...

African American Museum in Philadelphia

　　Founded in 1976, this was the first museum in the country built by a major city to house exhibitions on the life and work of African Americans. Exhibits include ones on notable African American Philadelphians, such as Richard Allen and Octavius Catto, and the Underground Railroad, which assisted slaves in...

　　Although the fortress-like exterior of this 1873 building is pretty impressive, it's the spectacular interiors – which took a further 15 years to complete – that really blow visitors away. Fans of secret societies and theatrical design will be in raptures as each meeting room sports an astonishingly detailed theme...

　　Completed in 1901 following 30 years of construction, City Hall takes up a whole block, and at 548ft is the world's tallest structure without a steel frame. The view from the observation area immediately beneath the 27-ton bronze statue of William Penn that crowns the tower takes in most of...

Barnes Foundation

　　Since 2012, Dr Albert C Barnes' eye-popping collection of artworks – predominantly focused on French masterpieces from the late 19th and early 20th centuries – has taken pride of place at the end of Benjamin Franklin Pkwy in the Logan Square & Fairmount district in Philadelphia. Set inside a stylish,...

Benjamin Franklin Museum

　　This underground museum is dedicated to Franklin's storied life as a printer (he started the nation's first newspaper), inventor (Bifocals! Lightning rods!) and political figure who signed the Declaration of Independence. The exhibition, divided into five areas, with each focusing on a particular trait of the man, is inventively laid...

Reading Terminal Market

　　Getting the balance just right between food shopping hub and dining destination, Reading Terminal Market opened way back in 1893 and it's been a Philadelphia institution ever since. The 75 local stalls crammed into this aircraft hangar of a marketplace provide a strong taste of Philly's cultural melting pot, embracing...

Eastern State Penitentiary

　　The modern prison didn't just happen – it was invented, and Eastern State Penitentiary was the first one, opened in 1829 and finally closed in 1971. A self-guided audio tour leads you through the eerie, echoing halls; one stop is Al Capone's famously luxurious cell. There's also info on America's...

　　A major Philly landmark, this picturesque strip of rowing clubs is made up of mock Tudor and Victorian boathouses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Check the website for the racing schedule between each of the mainly university clubs. 　　The most famous race is the Dad Vail (ww.dadvail.org)...
