The City of Philadelphia:

A rich history permeates this bustling “City of Brotherly Love”. Philadelphia is home to “The Declaration of Independence” and to “The Constitution” and as such it is also known as “The Birthplace of America”.

Historical premises are not the only reason why “Philly” is an exciting city. Hike along the Wissahickon Valley trail for a glimpse of Philly’s scenic appeal; hit the horseback riding trails known as Forbidden Drive; shop in Center City or simply grab a mouthwatering famous Philly Cheese steak on just about any corner street and wash it down with water ice, a local favorite. Philadelphia and its buildings are enlightened with the largest collection of free public art in America. The Mural Art Programs has successfully embellished its walls and public spaces and have reduced the amount of graffiti’s all over the city. Philadelphia is a lively, charismatic and culturally diverse urban city waiting to be explored.
