The City of Brotherly Love is a cultural hub of activity, encompassing the arenas of art, science, history, urban aesthetics, and fun. Whether you’re a history buff, an art connoisseur, an inquisitive intellectual, a vacationing family with children, a compulsive shopper, or a gourmet food snob, Philadelphia is well equipped for any tourists’ wants.
Rich with monuments, statues, fountains, murals, famous sites and Colonial architecture, as well as modern and eclectic foods, shops, and galleries, the riverside city of Philadelphia also has one of the country’s hottest music and nightlife scenes- not to mention some of the greatest sports teams (and dedicated fans!) in the nation. And the cheesesteaks are pretty good, too…
