Time Off

Said to be, 'dear to the hearts of America's fiercest flag-wavers', Philadelphia offers visitors a good deal more than 300-years of heritage. However, it is a living monument to the historic ideals that gave birth to the United States of America, in particular, Independance Hall, part of Independance National Park, the home of the famous fractured Liberty Bell. Today, it is recognised as a major cultural center with world-class museums, performing arts and some stunning architecture. Even the briefest stay in Philadelphia will acquaint you with this heritage, but remember, there's a good deal more on offer in America's fifth largest city besides history.
