Visit Philadelphia

Be sure to visit the iconic Rocky statue, built in honor of Sylvester Stallone’s “Rocky III.” This statue makes for a great photo opportunity!

The Liberty Bell is a must-see historical destination, but the lesser-known Independence Hall bears similar significance. Independence Hall is where the Declaration of Independence was signed and was the starting place for America’s Revolution against England.
