Philadelphia, the city where American democracy was born and independence declared. This great city of history and culture is the 5th largest city in the USA and the 2nd largest on the East Coast. A friendly, walkable and vibrant city full of culture, history, arts and music, coupled with fabulous food and entertainment.

Known as one of the premier dining destinations in the USA, Philadelphia offers a wide selection of high-quality and stylish restaurants and ethnic eateries but, if you're looking for something truly authentic, nothing says it better than a Philley Cheesesteak Sandwich. In the evening the streets of the city centre and Old City buzz with trendy nightspots, offering a range of venues to suit all tastes, take in a live jazz show or hit the clubs for the latest dance beats.
If shopping is your thing then you'll truly enjoy the experience here as it's TAX FREE on all clothing and shoes!
