The birthplace of our country, Philadelphia is where we first dared to dream of forming a self-governing nation. From the meeting rooms of Independence Hall to the surrounding countryside, early Philadelphians set our course for freedom. The memory of their struggles and sacrifices endures at places like Brandywine Battlefield and Valley Forge. Today, Philly's bustling downtown is packed with four-star restaurants, world-class theatres, and museums of art and history. Too much excitement? The winding roads of the nearby countryside roll past wineries, friendly towns, and cozy inns where you can relax and engage in the pursuit of happiness.
