Philadelphia is a town full of history. Whether you are there for some cheesesteaks, run up the rocky steps, or just driving through, think about stopping to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Independence National Historical Park is in the heart of the city and open daily. You do not need to get tickets to view the Liberty Bell,...

The Liberty Bell and Constitution Hall are very inspiring however everything shuts down at 5pm, so get there early if you want to go inside.

The park service has established a park that contains many historical buildings, but is also beautifully landscaped. There are lines to get into the buildings; best to arrive by 9:00 am.

Given that we had to procure (free) tickets for an appointed time, I rather thought it would be a guided tour, but it's not. Regardless, security was quick, there was a lot to read about and it was very cool to see a revered, significant part of American history.

It is best to get an early start by parking in the underground parking deck at the visitor center, get your free...
