The city became a World Heritage City thanks to “the universal principles of freedom and democracy written down in the Declaration of Independence and the
US Constitution” both signed at Independence Hall, according to UNESCO. These documents “are greatly important to American history and have also had a big effect on lawmakers around the world”.
Despite its importance in history, Philadelphia is also known for a diverse and accepting culture. It's not called the “City of Brotherly Love” for nothing. Philadelphia is home to a huge number of ethnic neighborhoods and one of the largest gay communities in the US. In fact, one of the first gay rights protests in the country happened outside of Independence Hall.
Its collection of public art is another thing that makes Philadelphia stand out. Graffiti art is sometimes paid for as the city tries to make Philadelphia a “museum without walls”.As the US News website noted, “This is a great example of the city's wellknown grassroots culture.”
In recent years, Philadelphia has also become one of the US'
most exciting food cities. Travelers won't miss it. They believe no trip would be complete without tasting its soft pretzel (椒盐脆饼)
and the famous cheesesteak sandwich. It is a large sandwich made with thin slices of steak and cheese.
Whether you're looking for “historic sites, culture, and art scene, or delicious food”, Philadelphia won't disappoint you, said travel guide Lonely Planet.
