| What Are Pennsylvania's Landmarks |
City Slicker's Delights: Philly's Fantastic Four (and a Bonus)
The Liberty Bell: This cracked icon needs no introduction. But did you know it wasn't always silent? Fun Fact: Back in the day, this bell tolled for freedom. Now, it mostly chills out for tourists like us.
Independence Hall: Witness the birthplace of American freedom! Pro Tip: Don't confuse this with the Declaration of Independence Mall (it's a thing, and it's a whole other story).
Rocky Statue: Yo, Adrian! No trip to Philly is complete without running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, just like Rocky Balboa. Word of Caution: Unlike Rocky, there probably won't be a crowd cheering you on. But hey, at least you'll get a killer view.
Love Sculpture: Love it or hate it (seriously, people have strong opinions about this one), the LOVE sculpture is a Philly staple. Relationship Status: It's complicated (but undeniably Instagrammable).
Bonus: The Mutter Museum: For those with a taste for the bizarre (and let's be honest, who doesn't have a little bit of that?), this medical museum will have you equal parts fascinated and freaked out.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
