Philadelphia holidays - Historical, friendly and quaint
A fantastic stop-off in many of our tours, Philadelphia is well noted for its cultural heritage, which is shown through the architecture, cobbled streets and fascinating museums. One you may recognise is the Philadelphia Museum of Art, whose steps were used for Sylvester Stallone’s victory run in ‘Rocky’.
Immerse yourself in America's history
One of the oldest cities in the US, Philadelphia holidays are steeped in historical culture that dates back to the very beginnings of the country.
From the stately Museum of Art to the rolling hills of Valley Forge National Historical Park, holidays to Philadelphia celebrate the city’s extensive cultural heritage and in particular its role in the American Civil War.
Home to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, Philadelphia, PA is a vibrant city of cultural history, arts, music, sports and family attractions. Its cultural heritage is displayed right across the city from historic neighbourhoods such as Franklin Square and the Franklin Institute to the iconic and famously cracked Liberty Bell, which sits in its own visitor centre and exhibition.
