VISIT THE INDEPENDENCE HALL, GO TO GENO'S STEAK, RUN ON ROCKY STEPS: THINGS TO DO IN PHILLY
No matters how long you are going to stay in Philadelphia, a day, three days, ten days: you can't miss the visit at the Independence Hall, the amazing Geno's steak burger and then go for a run on Rocky Steps.
INDIPENDENCE HALL
Independence Hall is located on Chestnut Street, between 5th and 6th Streets. Here you can see the room where the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and signed. You will have a guide that will explain everything to you about the American revolution. The Independence Hall is the centerpiece of the Independence National Historical Park.
GENO'S STEAK (official site www.genosteaks.com)
What exactly is the Philadelphia cheesesteak burger? It's not a simple sandwich, it's one of the best burgers I had ever tried in my life. It's a long hoagie roll stuffed with thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese; if you want to add onions or any kind of sauces, that's your choice!
If you are looking for the authentic Philly cheesesteak burger you definitely have to go to Geno's. The place is easy but nice, the service is really fast and the prices are good. I have tried the classic cheesesteak burger but you will find a great selection of sandwiches. My burger were awesome!!! I really recommend it :-)
In the movie Rocky, Sylvester Stallone runs up the 72 steps and if you go to Philly, you can do exactly the same.
I did it but I had to film my friends so I don't have any proofs of my performance :-(
The stairs lead up to the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and from here you can admire a pleasant view over the city.
At the botton on the steps there is a statue of the character created by Sylvester Stallone so you can get a photo with Rocky Balboa himself. Don't miss it!
OUR ACCOMODATION
For three night we stayed at CITY HOUSE HOSTEL: PHILADELPHIA LIBERTY. My friends and I were in a Deluxe 12 Bed Mixed Dorm and we thought it was just fabulous.
It's located in a nice neighborhood where you're able to walk to the touristic places. The rooms, the bathrooms and the kitchen are clean and the staff is really nice and kind. We had so much fun :-)
