Hey everyone, welcome back to the
0:01
channel. Today we're exploring
0:03
Philadelphia, the city of brotherly
0:05
love. Sure, you've heard of Cheese
0:07
Stakes and Rocky, but Philly is so much
0:09
more. It's a living history book with
0:11
incredible food and vibrant culture. I
0:13
put together the top 10 things you
0:15
absolutely have to do here. From iconic
0:17
landmarks to hidden local gems, whether
0:19
you're planning a trip or just dreaming,
0:22
get ready for the ultimate Philly
0:23
experience. Let's dive in. Number 10. No
0:27
Philly trip is complete without seeing
0:29
the Liberty Bell. This cracked icon is a
0:32
powerful symbol of American freedom, and
0:34
standing before it is truly moving. The
0:36
Liberty Bell Cent's free exhibits tell
0:38
its fascinating story and why it
0:41
inspires people worldwide. It's not just
0:43
a photo op. It's a real connection to
0:45
history. Don't miss it. Number nine is
0:48
Independence Hall, just steps from the
0:50
Liberty Bell. This is where the
0:51
Declaration of Independence and the
0:53
Constitution were debated and signed,
0:55
America's true birthplace. Take the
0:57
guided tour and stand in the assembly
0:59
room where history was made. The park
1:01
rangers bring the past to life with
1:03
incredible stories. You'll leave with a
1:05
new appreciation for the nation's
1:06
origins. It's a must for any history
1:09
lover. At number eight, get hungry for
1:11
Reading Terminal Market. This bustling
1:14
indoor market is a food lovers paradise
1:16
with everything from classic Philly
1:17
cheese steaks to Amish baked goods and
1:19
global cuisine. Wander the maze of
1:22
vendors, sample local favorites, and
1:24
don't miss a canoli from Terminy
1:25
Brothers or a roast pork sandwich from
1:27
Dinix. Go with an empty stomach and an
1:29
open mind. It's a true Philly
1:33
Number seven, channel your inner Rocky
1:35
at the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps.
1:37
Run up those iconic stairs, strike the
1:40
classic pose, and soak in the city
1:42
skyline. After your movie moment, head
1:44
inside for worldclass art from
1:46
Renaissance masterpieces to modern
1:49
works. The museum's unique rooms like a

medieval cloister and Japanese tea house
1:53
are unforgettable. It's the perfect
1:55
blend of pop culture and high culture.
1:57
Don't skip it. Number six is the
2:00
Franklin Institute. A hands-on science
2:02
playground for all ages. Walk through a
2:04
giant beating heart. Explore brain
2:06
teasers and check out real jets and a
2:08
massive pendulum. With a planetarium and
2:10
IMAX theater, it's perfect for curious
2:12
minds and rainy days. Science has never
2:14
been this fun. Bring your sense of
2:16
wonder. At number five, slow down in
2:18
Written House Square, the heart of
2:20
Philly's cheicest neighborhood. Relax
2:22
under the trees, people watch or picnic
2:24
on the lawn. The park is surrounded by
2:26
boutiques, galleries, and top-notch
2:28
cafes. Grab a coffee and soak in the
2:30
atmosphere. It's a peaceful slice of
2:32
city life, perfect for a midday break.
2:35
Number four, get spooked at Eastern
2:37
State Penitentiary. This haunting,
2:39
crumbling prison was once the world's
2:41
most famous, known for its solitary
2:43
confinement system. Take the audio tour,
2:45
hear stories of infamous inmates like Al
2:47
Capone, and explore the eerie cell
2:49
blocks. Around Halloween, it transforms
2:52
into a legendary haunted house. It's a
2:54
chilling, unforgettable piece of
2:55
history. Number three, enjoy pure fun at
2:58
Spruce Street Harbor Park on the
2:59
Delaware River. Lounge in colorful

nights. Don't miss the waterfront views.

the Philadelphia Zoo. See rare animals
3:20

3:22
overhead on the zoo 360 trails. With
3:24
beautiful grounds and a focus on
3:26
conservation, it's a classic day out for
3:28
all ages. Explore the primate reserve
3:30
aviary and reptile house. The zoo never
3:32
gets old. And at number one, step into
3:35
the magic gardens. This dazzling mosaic
3:38
wonderland by artist Isaiah Zaggar is a

3:44
outdoor paths, discovering new details
