Philadelphia PA, United States of America

Philadelphia PA United States of America

Philadelphia is the biggest city in the state of Pennsylvania, the second biggest city on the East Coast of the United States, and the fifth most populous city in the United States. It's situated in the North-eastern United States along the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, and it's the only consolidated city-county in Pennsylvania. At Franklin Court, we come across the Christ Church Burial Ground, another well-known landmark, where Ben Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration of Independence were laid to rest. The Congress Hall was the residence of the first Congress. In addition to this, George Washington and John Adams were inaugurated here, and the Bill of Rights was ratified right inside. Philadelphia's most famous attraction, the Liberty Bell was rung to mark the hearing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The Bell weighs 2,000 pounds, which might not be obvious just by looking at it. Philadelphia is a fantastic city to visit. It's welcoming and steeped in history and has a great blend of old and new and of historic and modern. There are plenty of sites, restaurants, clubs, and museums to keep you occupied, along with several open space parks scattered throughout the centre and, of course, the rivers, which contribute to the tranquillity of this lively city.
