Philadelphia

Not just the largest city in the state of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia also happens to be one of the oldest in the entire United States. Steeped in American history, Philly was founded in the late 1600s. While the world may know the area for its passionate sports fans, cheesesteaks, the Liberty Bell, and perhaps a fictional boxer (*cue Eye of the Tiger*), there is a much more eclectic mix of cultures and diverse communities to explore. From the “streetcar” suburbs to the historic Rittenhouse Square, the many facets of this “City of Neighborhoods” can be overwhelming, but just look to the city’s namesake, William Penn. His statue prominently perched atop the ‘almost’ center of the city, City Hall - once the tallest habitable building in the world.
