6 Better known as the City of Brotherly Love or simply Philly, Philadelphia is one of the oldest cities in the nation and the home of numerous firsts, including library (1731), hospital (1751), medical school (1765), stock exchange (1790), zoo (1874), and, oh, yeah, it s where the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. The sixth-most populous city in the United States, Philadelphia is both an economic and educational hub, with five Fortune 1000 companies and numerous colleges and universities calling it home. The birthplace of the United States Marine Corps, it s also the home of Rocky, film director M. Night Shyamalan, Hall and Oates, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, and the Super Bowl LII champion Named by founder William Penn in 1682, Philadelphia, Greek for brotherly love, served as the capital of the Pennsylvania colony.

7 Thanks to it s port on the Delaware River and peaceful goodwill between the colonists and the indigenous Lenape Indians, the city rapidly grew into America s most important city. Given its central location among the original 13 colonies, Philadelphia emerged as a meeting place for America s revolutionaries and founding fathers, hosting the first and second Continental Congresses, the latter at which the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and the Constitutional Convention in 1787. While the White House and Capitol were being constructed in Washington, , Philadelphia served as the temporary capital of the nation from 1790-1800. An influx of European immigrants, mostly from Germany and Ireland, as well as the Great Migration of African Americans from the rural south, saw the city s population swell from 31,000 to 220,000 from 1880-1930.

Four centuries old architecture, cobblestone streets, and landmarks are only one aspect of the city s charms. Museums, music, restaurants, and nightlife round its myriad offerings. Let s start with history, because Philadelphia is dripping with Historic District, spanning from the Delaware River to 7th Street and from Vine Street to Lombard Street, represents some of the nation s most iconic monuments and attractions.

9 The Liberty Bell Center, Independence Hall, where the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, the Museum of the American Revolution, the Benjamin Franklin Museum, and the African American Museum in Philadelphia are all places where visitors can be steeped in living history. Benjamin Franklin and several signers of the Declaration ofIndependence are buried at the Christ Church burial grounds. Since a lot of us think with our stomachs when visiting a new city, it s no surprise that the most visited attraction in Philadelphia is Reading Terminal Market, an indoor food paradise and one-stop shop for everything your tastebuds desire. Nearly 7 million people visit the market each in 1874, the aforementioned Philadelphia Zoo, America s first zoo, features Zoo360, the world s first system of see-through mesh trails crossing over pedestrian paths and connecting habitats so the animals can explore the campus safely amongst the lovers will recognize the steps leading up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art Rocky Balboa triumphantly climbed them in the 1975 Academy Award winning film but there s more here than some famous stairs.

10 Renaissance, American, Asian, impressionist, and contemporary masterpieces greet more than 750,000 visitors each is also, of course, a sports town and it will no doubt still be buzzing about its Eagles come Conference time. The 2018 NFL season will be well underway and the defending Super Bowl champions just might be home. The city is also home to MLB s Phillies (home Sept. 28-30 vs. Atlanta Braves), the NBA s 76ers (preseason will be underway), and the NHL s Flyers (season will be just about to start).
