Strategically located in the populated north-east of the United States, between New York City and Washington and via the Delaware River in connection with the Atlantic, Philadelphia has been playing an important role throughout the history of America.

The old town district of the city where the Independence of the United States was proclaimed is well preserved and the major sites and attractions are located in a fairly compact region. The many universities and academies give the city a lively and cultural enriched ambience, while the influences of its many immigrants from all over the world add to the charm of the City of Brotherhood.
The downtown Center City and Old City are the most interesting areas to visit upon exploring Philadelphia. Bordered by the Delaware River on the west and south side and the Schuylkill River on the East, downtown Philly is a combination of historical lembrances and modern architecture with the old City Hall as the major point of reference. A visit to Philadelphia should include the Independence Hall with the Liberty Bell on Independence square. Other public squares worth a visit are the Penn, Washington, Franklin, Rittenhouse and Logan square, each with its own identity and charms. The historical old city provides a great variety of restaurants, bars and live music shows and maintains a trendy bohemian ambience.
Don’t miss out the opportunity to visit some of Philadelphia’s great museums and shows. The city is known as a cultural centre in the United States and provides a variety of high-class theater and music performances. The Avenue of Arts is the epicenter of cultural activity.
