Best of Philadelphia: Hotels & Sightseeing (Flight additional)

Philadelphia is the biggest city in Pennsylvania, the second biggest on the East Coast, and the fifth most populated city in the U.S. It's situated in the Northeastern U.S., along the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, and it's the only city-county in Pennsylvania. At Franklin Court, you'll find the Christ Church Burial Ground, a famous landmark where Ben Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried. Congress Hall, the first home of Congress, is also here. George Washington and John Adams were inaugurated in this building, and the Bill of Rights was ratified inside. The Liberty Bell, Philadelphia's most famous attraction, was rung to mark the reading of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Despite its 2,000-pound weight, the Bell doesn't look that heavy. Philadelphia is a fantastic city to visit. It's friendly, full of history, and offers a great blend of old and new, historic and modern. There are plenty of sites, restaurants, clubs, and museums to keep you entertained, as well as numerous parks in the city center and the rivers, which add to the city's peaceful yet lively atmosphere.
