Best described as a city that blends the old and new together, Philly is a city of many faces. While some see it as home to American icons of freedom and democracy, to others it is the capital of vibrant businesses and cultural communities.
Seven Fortune 500 Companies call the City of Brotherly Love home. Philly has provided employment to its million residents in industries like education, health and communication. Major employers include Temple University and Albert Einstein Medical Center.
The Old City neighborhood is home to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the Constitution Center. About a 10-minute walk from the Independence Hall is the Elfreth's Alley - the acclaimed, first residential street in the US. Walking these streets feels like stepping back in time; with houses dating back to the 18th century.
If historical sites aren't really your thing, then take a short 15-minute walk from Old City Philadelphia and you'll hit the more eclectic world of South Street. The thrift and record shops there won't disappoint. Grab something to eat at Johnny Rockets or get a classic cheese steak from Jim's. What completes Philly, however, is Reading Terminal Market. This enclosed public market is where you'll find all sorts of vendors selling the best of Philly's snacks and finger food.
