Philadelphia... America's 5th largest city and the nation's first capital. A city designed by William Penn and shaped by longtime resident Benjamin Franklin. Though the American independence movement began in Boston, it was formalized in Philadelphia with the establishment of the Continental Congress which met in Carpenters Hall then Independence Hall. In this city, over a 12-year period, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the US Constitution were all written.
Today Philadelphia is a city of great contrast. The city has cleaned up the historic areas around Independence Hall, and Society Hill is thriving, but head north on Broad Street and you'll see some of the poorest areas in the country with abandoned buildings and the nation's highest murder rates.

Philadelphia is so historical and on my list of places we want to see. You've captured some the most significant places to see while there. Nice tips!
Philadelphia is a really neat town. Each time I go I discover new things and then I learn about more here on VT. Surprising cause it doesn't feel like a big city, yet it has all the attributes. Thanks for sharing more ideas of things to see and do.
