About Philadelphia: Welcome to the City of Brotherly Love

Sitting in the heart of the Northeast Corridor, Philadelphia is the fifth-largest city in the United States and was founded in 1682. The city is full of new and one-of-a-kind attractions with the greatest concentration of American history located at Independence National Historical Park – including the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.

Philadelphia is a dynamic place where big city excitement meets hometown charm. Famous as the birthplace of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the cradle of liberty offers much more than cobblestone streets and historical landmarks. Cultural, culinary, artistic and ethnic treasures abound in this city and its surrounding countryside.
