Philadelphia, day by day
Philadelphia is the city where the United States was declared and its constitution written, in a brick hall you can still stand inside, and it is also the city of the Rocky steps, the biggest Cézanne collection outside Paris, a prison that invented solitary confinement, a mosaic labyrinth on South Street, an Italian market, a cheesesteak rivalry across one corner and a City Hall you can stand on top of. Start with three days that walk the historic district, the museum parkway and the neighbourhoods, with the prices and hours the institutions publish for 2026, in the year the country turns 250.
