Experience all the sights, sounds, and flavors of Philly.
In historic Philadelphia, visit the Liberty Bell Center and Independence Hall, museums like The Franklin Institute, and the statue of Rocky from the Sylvester Stallone movies. Catch a Phillies baseball game, pick up a cheesesteak from Geno’s or Pat’s, and enjoy the City of Brotherly love.
Philadelphia Dining
Those who think “cheesesteak” when they hear “Philadelphia,” head to Geno’s or Pat’s, both famous for the subs, but almost every restaurant and bar serves the sandwiches.
These restaurants are recommended by ASGA:
The Marathon Grill
At the Marathon Grill we love food, but more importantly we create the food that people love to eat. We set out each day to provide our guests with a complete feel-good dining experience.

Philadelphia Sights
Philadelphia has an astounding collection of museums, artistic venues and historical attractions. There’s the Liberty Bell, of course — plus amazing art installations, jazz venues, architectural landmarks and much more.
The Liberty Bell Center
“The Liberty Bell has a new home, and it is as powerful and dramatic as the Bell itself. Throughout the expansive, light-filled Center, larger-than-life historic documents and graphic images explore the facts and the myths surrounding the Bell.” – GoPhila.com
Independence Hall
“During the blistering summer of 1776, 56 courageous men gathered at the Pennsylvania State House and defied the King of England. Eleven years later, representatives from 12 states gathered to shape the U.S. Constitution, finally creating one unified nation.” – GoPhila.com
The Philadelphia Zoo
“One of the best laid-out and most animal-packed zoos in the country is set among a charming 42-acre Victorian garden with tree-lined walks, formal shrubbery, ornate iron cages and animal sculptures. The zoo has garnered many “firsts” in addition to being the first zoo charted in the United States (1859).” – GoPhila.com
