Five things to see/do in Philadelphia:
 The Philadelphia Museum of Art, with its beautiful location on a hill in downtown Philadelphia, has a good permanent collection of art.
 Don’t miss Independence Hall, a site with great historical significance for the USA, with both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution having been signed there. Not far from Independence Hall is the The National Constitution Center.
 The Liberty Bell, one of the main historic symbols of American Independence, and the Liberty Bell Center, which offers exhibits about the bell’s history, are both worth a visit.
 Check out the funky shops, cafes, and eateries of South Street, one of Philadelphia’s hot-spots for going out.
 The Eastern State Penitentiary was the world’s first penitentiary (it was one of the most famous and expensive prisons in the world), and now functions as a museum, where you can tour the cell blocks, death row, and more.
