What you can expect

Welcome to Philadelphia, a perfect place to discover America's story! The distance between some locations is a great reason to admire the city's many landmarks while you walk.

At first, you'll see one of the most haunted places in the U.S. - the castle-like Eastern State Penitentiary, where thousands of prisoners were held in complete isolation. Next, you can experience one of the world's greatest collections of work by Auguste Rodin at the elegant Rodin Museum. You can learn something new at the Franklin Institute, where kids and parents explore hands-on exhibits, and live science shows. You'll also pass by JFK Plaza with the iconic Pop Art sculpture situated at its heart.

Next, admire the largest municipal building in the U.S. - Philadelphia City Hall, which is an architectural treasure. Visit the vibrant Reading Terminal Market, one of America's largest and oldest public markets. See the historic building where Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Get up close with the Liberty Bell, a well-known symbol of freedom in America.

You will walk down the fascinating Elfreth's alley, a National historic Landmark, with houses on the street dating back to 1702. Celebrate one of the nation's most historic site at the Betsy Ross House - the birthplace of the American flag.

Finally, you'll see Christ Church Burial Ground, where the graves of many historical leaders lay including Benjamin Franklin's.
