Philadelphia πΊπΈ | A City of Charm & History
The second stop on my East Coast adventure! Booked tickets via Amtrak (pro tip: prices fluctuate - early birds save big! ποΈπΈ). π LOVE Park π The iconic "LOVE" sculpture - a perfect symbol for a city whose name literally means "brotherly love" (from Greek philos + adelphos). Philly wears its 300+ years of history with pride! π City Hall π° Built 1871-1901 - the largest, tallest, and most expensive municipal building in America! Don't miss: β’ $11 tower tour for skyline views β’ 287 ft clock tower (topped by William Penn) π Independence Hall + Liberty Bell π Separated by just a street, these twins tell America's origin story: β’ Independence Hall: Where the Declaration was signed (spot it on the $100 bill π΅) β’ Liberty Bell: 2,000 lbs of freedom (with its prophetic crack) - free entry! πΆβοΈ Perfect Walking Route: LOVE Park β City Hall β Independence Hall β Liberty Bell β Reading Terminal Market (food coma time!) β Chinatown #PhillyLove #AmericanHistory #UrbanExplorer #TravelGram
