Just a short walk away, continue to 2Independence Hall , the iconic red-brick meeting hall where the nation’s founding documents were debated and signed, an area steeped in historic atmosphere even without entering the building.

Next, head to 3Reading Terminal Market, a lively and bustling food market offering the perfect opportunity to enjoy lunch while browsing a wide selection of local specialties.

Conclude your visit at 4Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where you can relive a famous cinematic moment by running up the steps and enjoying sweeping panoramic views of the Philadelphia skyline.

After a day filled with history, culture and iconic sights, relax during the comfortable return drive back to Manhattan.
