Philadelphia is where big-city excitement meets neighborhood charm. The second-largest city on the East Coast, Philadelphia is at the center of the Northeast Corridor and within a days-drive of 40 percent of the U.S. population. Made famous as the birthplace of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," the city's strength is in the culturally diverse neighborhoods that merge to create a unique and dynamic destination.
 
Listen to the sounds of Philadelphia on the Avenue of the Arts at the new Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. Taste the distinctiveness of world-renowned chefs' creations at restaurants located on Rittenhouse Row or in Old City. Relive history at "America's most historic square mile," Independence Mall, home to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the new National Constitution Center. Feel the pulse of the city through touring its neighborhoods such as South Philadelphia's 125-year-old Italian Market or the stately historic homes on Delancey Street in Old City.

Philly is a bustling, energetic city that never stops no matter the season. It’s a destination with culture that is exciting, fast-paced, diverse and architecturally amazing.
