Philadelphia Vacation Guide

Philadelphia, also called Philly, is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the fifth largest in the United States. The name "Philadelphia" literally means, "the city of brotherly love", though most people think it is just a nickname for the city. Lying in the northern most point of the humid subtropical climate zone, Philadelphia experiences a four season climate with hot and humid summers and cold winters.

Philadelphia is a city rich in history and culture. With symbols such as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Betsy Ross's house, Benjamin Franklin and the Art Museum (filmed in the movie "Rocky"), the city cements its place as one of the most important in early US history. Philadelphia was once the site of our nation's capitol, before moving to DC. Also, Philadelphia is the place where the Constitution of the United States of America was signed on September 17, 1787. Street and Love Park are modern representatives of the city and are nationally famous areas of the city. Philadelphia is also well known for being the birthplace of philly water ice, soft pretzels, and the infamous cheesesteak, which is said to be invented there in 1930.
