Welcome to Philadelphia, ‘The City of Brotherly Love’.

Dubbed a 'heavyweight of history' it's a place with a fascinating past which still echoes around the streets and neighbourhoods these days. Those who want to immerse themselves in its story won't want to miss a trip to the iconic Liberty Bell, check out the Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed, and marvel at the towering City Hall which has been home to the city's government for more than a century.

Film buffs will know it's also home to those legendary Rocky steps, and you can make your own way up them en route to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

After a day of sightseeing there's nothing better than getting stuck into a famous Philly cheesesteak, or browsing some of the food and drink delights at the Reading Terminal Market.

Philadelphia, a Unesco World Heritage City, contains all the life and colour of a big city with the added warmth of small-town charm. A fascinating place to visit.
