Independence Hall

Famous for its role in American Independence, Independence Hall is where the Declaration of Independence was approved. 

Nice at night ice skating ring for a family night out kinda expensive if ur low-income but kids will enjoy the night or day out

Government offices
And place to explore while visiting philly.
Love park and dillworth park are next to city hall.

Beautiful historical building in the middle of Philadelphia.
I've never been inside. Whenever I came, it was non working hours.
The interesting and nice thing I like about this place (other than history and architecture ) is that you can walk through the building from one side to another.
I will update the review once I visit the place in a more informative way.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia City Hall

The largest municipal building in the country, Philadelphia City Hall offers a breathtaking view of the city from its open-air observation deck. 

Everything you could want and tons of delicious food

Loved the atmosphere, lots of food option.
I had the best cheese stake at 'Carmen's Famous Cheesesteaks'. The dish was 'Kamikaze Cheese Steak', too good

Philadelphia Art Museum/Rocky Steps

"Rocky Steps" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

Experience the iconic Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Climb the famous stairs and embrace the spirit of Rocky in this must-visit Philadelphia attraction.

This place is massive and creepy very cool

This was our favorite tour while in Philadelphia. We were here during the day, which made it not as creepy to walk through as it would be at night. There was a very heavy feeling throughout the entire facility. We did not see or capture anything that would be considered paranormal, but there is definitely some energy that is felt. This was an amazing tour. Whether you are interested in the paranormal or just in history, this is a great place to visit!

Really enjoyed our visit to Eastern State Penitentiary. Fascinating history and insight into not only what happened at ESP, but also the US justice and prison system in general. The audio guide (voiced by none other than Steve Buscemi) is great, but make sure you give yourself plenty of time if you want to take in the full audio tour.

A place full of history and a special atmosphere. Unfortunately, I find that everything looks the same because in fact it remains a penitentiary. Negative point I find that there are too many artist exhibitions which spoil the place

The gift shop's door tells you to close it when you leave or enter, but I saw someone that didn't do that. Sad

Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site

What was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, stands today in ruin as a haunting world of crumbling cell blocks and empty guard towers.

Очень разочарована отсутствием хоть кого то описания о памятнике - монументе , никакой информации ни в районе памятника ,ни в интернете.Само место чистое ,комфортное . Парковка 15 долларов в час .

What a beautiful place to visit… there are parking spots available around the and if you’re lucky, free parking in front of the Monument but limited. You can do the Rocky steps as well as visit the Rocky Monument… its worth the trip! We really enjoyed!

Best of Philadelphia Small Group Tour

Philadelphia

Your tour will begin with your friendly local guide picking you up directly from your hotel in downtown Philadelphia in one of our complimentary vehicles. You will enjoy passing by key historical points of interest such as the Betsy Ross House, the Ben Franklin Burial, the First Bank, and the Ben Franklin House on your way to Independence Hall.

Step back in time while at Independence Hall, which is known as the birthplace of America, and is most famous for its role in American independence. While there, you will be able to view the historic Liberty Bell. Easily recognizable because of its crack, the Liberty Bell remains significant today for its message of liberty. Abolitionists, women's suffrage activists, civil rights leaders and others have all used this bell as their symbol in the fight for equality.

At Independence Hall you will also have the opportunity to visit the Second Bank, which houses a collection of over 100 portraits, many of them by 18th Century artist Charles Willson Peale. Marvel at the Greek Revival architecture and the faces of the leaders of the Revolutionary Era.

You can’t go to Philadelphia without making a stop at the Rocky Steps. A near-constant flow of people arrive daily at the bottom of the stairs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to snap a picture with the Rocky statue, originally created for a scene in Rocky III and now a real-life monument for the beloved fictional hero. Running up the grand stairway, mimicking the famous two-arms-raised salute, and soaking up the view of the city is a must while in Philadelphia. You’ll also get a chance to see the Washington Monument Fountain and The Oval while you’re there. Don’t forget to take photos!

You will be in awe of the Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site - the first true “penitentiary.” What was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world stands today in ruin as a haunting world of crumbling cell blocks and empty guard towers. At one point, the cells held many of America’s most notorious lawbreakers, including bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton and Al Capone. This stop is sure to peak your interest.

Your guide will take you on a scenic city drive, passing by such points of interest as the Rodin Museum, the Barnes Foundation, the Franklin Institute, the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Peter and Paul, Love Park, and City Hall.

What’s a trip to Philadelphia without trying a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich? You will stop by the Reading Terminal Market to grab this tasty snack. This location is one of America’s largest and oldest public markets, housed since 1893 in a National Historic Landmark building. Along with Philly Cheese Steak, the market offers an incredible selection of locally grown and exotic produce, locally sourced meats and poultry, the finest seafood, cheeses, baked goods, and confections, and the widest variety of restaurants under one roof.

After a full day of adventure, your guide will return you to your downtown Philadelphia hotel where you can unwind and reflect on your memories from the day.
