Philadelphia - Independence National Historical Park

Independence Hall and its neighboring historical buildings make up America's most historic square mile. The Liberty Bell and Independence Hall are only two of the attractions found here. The first stop in this historic area should be the Visitor Center off Dock Street near 3rd Street. A 28-minute orientation film, plus numerous brochures and maps will guide the visitor along a walking tour lasting one to two days. Most park buildings are open from nine to five and during summer some buildings remain open later. For current schedules, please phone or visit the website. There are many cobblestone streets, so wear comfortable footwear. If coming by car, consider parking in a garage (at 2nd and Gatzmer Streets) and always lock your doors. For
