A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

I have difficulty walking so after finding and taking the phlash bus all the way there, I could not use the restrooms at the touch museum without paying the $18 entrance fee. I walked through their parking lot and walked around the house, only to be disappointed to find it was closed for the winter. The park is beautiful and you can see some of the house and gardens through the iron fence. It&#39;s beautiful and worth a visit when it&#39;s open. So next time I will know how to find the bus and make this my first stop.

The former residence of Elompo is also quite interesting. The environment of this place is also very good. The house is very traditional American old architectural style. The independent villa is also retained. The small sofa is very old.

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. The historic sites near the Liberty Bell are under the unified management of National Park. Opposite the Liberty Bell is a large visitor center where you can consult Philadelphia&#39;s travel guide. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic to help give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, where you can buy refrigerator magnets, notebooks, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs.

There are also exhibition explanations in the visitor center. Although it is relatively miniature compared to the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is a parking lot in the basement of the Independence Hall Visitor Center for everyone to park. Although parking in the city center of Philadelphia is not very convenient and parking spaces are not easy to find, it is recommended that everyone park in the underground parking lot of the visitor center. If you come during the peak season, you need to apply for the ticket to the Independence Hall at the visitor center first, but I don&rsquo;t know if it is because of the epidemic. You don&rsquo;t need to take a ticket when you come, you can go directly to visit.
