Philadelphia
Philadelphia
Philadelphia, the birthplace of American democracy, offers visitors a rare opportunity to walk through the very streets where the nation’s founding ideals were debated, signed, and set into motion. The city's art scene is as bold as its history. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is home to works by Van Gogh, Duchamp, and an entire Japanese teahouse, but it might be better known for the "Rocky Steps" out front, where visitors recreate the famous movie scene daily.
