What to do and see in City Center West, Pennsylvania (PA): The Best Concerts & Shows
One of the most historic cities in America, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend - preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed. Both are part of Independence National Historic Park. Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many area attractions honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador. After digesting all of that history, be sure you save room for a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.

We went to a concert by the fabulous Philadelphia Orchestra. They should be on everyone’s must list when visiting Philadelphia. Great music, great artists, great acoustics and view, and a fabulous venue. There’s always something on in one of the Center’s venues, and they cater for many tastes - so check online or at the box office.
