3 days in Philadelphia Itinerary

Steeped in cultural and historical heritage, Philadelphia is known as the birthplace of U.S.

Next up on the itinerary: try your luck at Harrah's Philadelphia, steep yourself in history at Christ Church, explore the world behind art at Philadelphia Museum of Art, and hunt for treasures at Reading Terminal Market.
