THINGS TO DO:
* By far the most famous landmark in Philadelphia is the Liberty Bell. Housed in the Liberty Bell
Pavilion, the cracked bell is a symbol of liberty across the nation and a favorite destination for
tourists to this great city. It was formerly hung at the top of Independence Hall, where it rang for
important occasions, including the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.
* Take a walk through the Museum of Art, featuring works by Picasso, Cezanne, Thomas Eakins
and others.
* Visit Independence Hall. The Assembly Room is where the delegates from the 13 colonies met
to approve the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776; where the design of the U.S. flag
was agreed upon in 1777; where the Articles of the Confederation were drafted in 1781; and
where the Constitutional Convention was held in 1787, producing the U.S. Constitution.
* Explore Franklin Court, Ben Franklin's home and workplace. An underground museum on the
site displays Franklin's various inventions, including a heat-efficient stove to warm houses.
* Stroll down Elfreth's Alley, believed to be America's oldest residential street, with colonial-style
houses dating back to 1728.
* Around the world, Philadelphia is associated with one type of food - cheesesteaks. Here, it's an
art form, and everyone has their own theory on the perfect recipe. But most agree it starts with
a nice roll, some decent beef, onions and Cheez Whiz. The cheesesteak is probably the only
cuisine centered around this food product - but it's an essential ingredient in the perfect
cheesesteak.
