Holidays To Philadelphia

Home to many symbols of the United States’ freedom, Philadelphia is a city that’s adored by many Americans. It’s every bit a modern city, buzzing with energy and full of diverse neighbourhoods, and yet there’s history to be seen everywhere.

Considered by many the birthplace of America, Independence National Historical Park is home to numerous sites that tell the tale of America’s founding, including the Liberty Bell Center, Independence Hall, the National Constitution Center and the Benjamin Franklin Museum. It was here that the Declaration of Independence from Britain was signed, marked by the ringing of the Liberty Bell. Walk the same streets as America’s founding fathers and visit the Independence Hall to witness the very place the Declaration was signed, as well as the U.S. Constitution, two of America’s founding documents.

Philadelphia: A Modern City

After a day of historical discoveries, a modern city of fun awaits you. With countless rooftop and piano bars, you can find yourself sipping on a cocktail in no time. Visit the Assembly Rooftop Lounge to see the city from 9 floors up and enjoy a drink next to a firepit, while Benjamin Franklin Parkway sits below you. Or, if you’re visiting between May and September, try the Bok Bar in south Philadelphia for incredible views of the city skyline.

If Philly’s history piques your interest, why not take the opportunity to expand your Philadelphia holiday and visit other historically significant cities? Take the AMTRAK to Washington DC and Boston to learn even more, or head to the bright lights of New York City, or combine your visit with a trip to Hawaii or Bora Bora for some serious rest and relaxation.
