What to do and see in University City, Pennsylvania (PA): The Best Things to do
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.

A ten-block section of Chestnut Street has been closed to traffic and is a pedestrian shopping walkway.

We stayed at the Doubletree and decided to walk to Fogo de Chão for dinner. What a breathtaking walk! The architecture on this street was phenomenal. So much detail! Our favorite building was the Philadelphia Union League Building. The security guard there was so knowledgeable and it was real special for us to hear the history of that place. When the sun set the street reminded me of the Peter Pan movie, with the lit clock face. It was very special to see.
