Welcome to Philadelphia! This audio tour invites you to stroll its Old City and explore the much-prized historical, cultural and culinary draws of Pennsylvania’s capital. At first, you'll see the haunted castle-like Eastern State Penitentiary, a former prison, known for the complete isolation and severe punishments of its prisoners. Next, you can take in the largest collection of Auguste Rodin's statuary outside France, including The Thinker, at the elegant Rodin Museum, if you like. Crossing the JFK Plaza or the LOVE Park nearby, spot the iconic pop art LOVE sculpture in the middle. Few steps from there, be amazed by the scale of the Philadelphia City Hall, which is the largest municipal building in the country. The tour then invites you to the vibrant Reading Terminal Market, a locals' favorite for grocery shopping and snacking since 1893. For more on America's aspiring history, see the Declaration House building where Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. And meet the storied Liberty Bell, a well-known symbol of freedom in America, around the corner. Later on, you will pass by the Betsy Ross House, where the American flag was born. Finally, you will enter the Christ Church Burial Ground where many historical leaders are buried and visit the prominent Benjamin Franklin’s grave. Join this tour to witness how they founded the nation in Philadelphia's past and experience how the Philadelphians of today relish its ambitious present.
