One of the most historic cities in America, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend - preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed where both are part of Independence National Historic Park.

 

Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many area attractions honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador.

​

During the Fall and Halloween seasons, Pennsylvania alone has some of the best haunted attractions and sites nationwide. Its recommended you go with a group when partaking in these scary activities.

 

After digesting all of that history, be sure you save room for delicious eats and find a restaurant that will serve you a hot and classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.

​

From malls like The Shops at Liberty Place and King of Prussia to department stores like Macy’s and Boyds to small boutiques like Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction and Verde, shoppers have no shortage of appealing options.

Plus, since clothing and shoe sales are tax-free, there’s no better place to stock up on style than in Philadelphia.
