Trips to Philadelphia

The New York Times ranks Philadelphia as one of the world's top three cities to visit right now. Philadelphia has deep roots in the American Revolution and is the first U.S. city recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The newly opened Museum of the American Revolution showcases its fascinating history. Nestled between New York and Washington, D.C., Philadelphia can be experienced as part of a broader East Coast adventure or as a destination in its own right. The city's many museums and cultural offerings are easily accessible on foot, as Philadelphia is one of the most walkable cities in the United States. Known for its breweries, the city boasts a robust beer culture. Take a brewery tour or sample the local cuisine at one of the many outdoor cafes. Philadelphia is also very green; in the summer, many of the city's squares are transformed into parks for the enjoyment of both locals and tourists. For families, there are engaging experiences at the popular LEGOLAND® Discovery Center just outside the city center. Sports are a major focus, with seven professional teams and frequent hosts to significant sporting events, including the US Open in golf and various college basketball championships. Shopping is integral in the U.S., and Rittenhouse Square offers a shopping paradise with its surrounding boutiques and malls, complemented by its own festival in May. With tax-free pricing on clothing and shoes, Philadelphia promises good value for your money. There are simply many great reasons to visit Philadelphia.
