Penn Museum

The Penn Museum is a fascinating place to explore, with an impressive collection of artifacts from ancient cultures around the world. I especially enjoyed seeing the Egyptian exhibits and learning about the history behind the objects on display. There’s so much detail that you can easily spend a few hours here. A great stop in Philadelphia for anyone interested in archaeology, history, and ancient civilizations. 🏺✨

Liberty Bell

One of the most important places in the United States to commemorate the independence movement, this huge metal bell is quite impressive, with some clearly visible signs of wear. There are also several nearby memorials that are worth visiting.

Independence National Historical Park

The history of Philadelphia is also the birthplace of the independence of the new America. The liberation movement in this place is also very famous. There are many things to appreciate in the historical park, which is a good way to understand the independence movement of this city.

Independence Hall

A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

Philadelphia City Hall

Lots of iconic buildings and landmarks across both sides of the street. You can visit the place in the 100 US$ bill as well, like the final image below.

Old City

Philadelphia is a very charming American city. Unlike New York, which is messy and glamorous, this city has a profound heritage. The old city is very charming, and the public security is very good. It is safer to go out at night.
