Discovering Philadelphia

For first timers a guided walking tour can be a fantastic way to explore the city. Hope-on hop-off buses are another very popular and convenient way of acquainting oneself with the city.

The famous Liberty Bell: The Liberty Bell no longer rings out, but it remains a potent symbol for all those brave men and women who fought for freedom. Getting your photo taken in front of the Liberty Bell with the Independence Hall in the background is one of the most popular ‘photo opps’ the city provides. The Independence Hall itself is open to visitors and is well worth a visit. Another popular location for photos is on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This is where Sylvester Stallone’s ‘Rocky’ famously ran up its steps. Travellers from around the world regularly try to replicate ‘Rocky’ by ascending its 72 steps.

A visit to Philly would not be complete without tasting its world-famous Philly cheesesteak. Definitely not one for the weight watchers! For food lovers a visit to the Reading Terminal Market is a must. It provides a kaleidoscope of culinary delights where customers can enjoy a world of flavours from dozens of restaurants.
