Many people come to Philadelphia to see the historic sites and to learn about our nation's foundations. There's no shortage of history here, and there are also plenty of things to do if you're not a history buff. Philadelphia is a bustling city -- the 4th largest in the country -- and there are countless museums, parks, stores, spas, and even golf courses beckoning visitors from across the country and the world. Philadelphia is home to several of the country's best children's educational museums, offering exciting things to do for the whole family. It also has a whole neighborhood (Society Hill) of charming cobblestone streets and upscale boutiques ideal for taking a leisurely stroll in the Liberty city of Philadelphia.
