I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. The historic sites near the Liberty Bell are under the unified management of National Park. Opposite the Liberty Bell is a large visitor center where you can consult Philadelphia's travel guide. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic to help give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, where you can buy refrigerator magnets, notebooks, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs. There are also exhibition explanations in the visitor center. Although it is relatively miniature compared to the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is a parking lot in the basement of the Independence Hall Visitor Center for everyone to park. Although parking in the city center of Philadelphia is not very convenient and parking spaces are not easy to find, it is recommended that everyone park in the underground parking lot of the visitor center. If you come during the peak season, you need to apply for the ticket to the Independence Hall at the visitor center first, but I don’t know if it is because of the epidemic. You don’t need to take a ticket when you come, you can go directly to visit.

A museum in Philadelphia's Old City. It briefly explains the creation of the Liberty Bell, a symbol of American independence, and its influence on the American people. From the liberation of the North American colonies from British rule to the emancipation of black slaves, the women's rights movement, and the civil rights movement, the American spirit of independence embodied by the Liberty Bell continues to be deeply rooted in various fields.

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

Lots of iconic buildings and landmarks across both sides of the street. You can visit the place in the 100 US$ bill as well, like the final image below.

A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

Philadelphia is a very charming American city. Unlike New York, which is messy and glamorous, this city has a profound heritage. The old city is very charming, and the public security is very good. It is safer to go out at night.

Franklin died here in 1790. The house itself has been destroyed and no longer exists, but the original site has been preserved and the Benjamin Franklin Museum has been established.

On the first day of a leisurely trip to Philadelphia, I only checked in at this private art gallery on Park Avenue. Among the several major art galleries in Philadelphia, I still prefer this relatively low-key and exquisite art gallery. Although it is next to the famous Philadelphia Art Museum and Robin Sculpture Gallery, it still has its own unique style and painting arrangement. If you come during the week, there will not be many people in the art gallery, so you can slow down and quietly appreciate the exhibits. One thing I like about their home is that all the exhibition areas are not limited to a specific style. The layout of paintings from various periods is presented together, not affected by the painting style and period. Different works separated by hundreds of years can be viewed in one exhibition hall. Although the art gallery does not have a text description of each work, you can go to their official website and use your mobile phone to scan the picture to learn about the story behind each painting. This way of visiting is also more interesting. You can first guess the background of the painting, and then compare it after scanning the picture. The scanned paintings will also be sent to your mailbox later.

This is the first animal park in the United States, that is, a zoo established when the country was just founded, so it has a very long history. Although it is not particularly large, there are really humane facilities everywhere. In addition to the humanity, the animality here is also quite good. This place pays great attention to animals. They live in a purely natural environment and can live in harmony with humans. People can also interact with them without any pressure.
