Philadelphia is one of the most historically significant cities in the whole of the United States of America. It is the perfect location for anyone interested in exploring a beautiful city full of old charm and new cultural experiences. If you're in the city for just a weekend or have recently moved to the area and are looking to explore there are lots of wonderful things to do. The person who adores fine architecture will have much to see and someone interested in food publicity has the option of hundreds of amazing restaurants offering cuisine from all over the globe. Here are some of the top attractions in the city.

The President's House Commemorative Site will open in the Fall of 2010 and is the former home of both President Washington and Adams. The site shows the good and the bad of this time, including videos, interactive panels, and a tribute to nine enslaved people who served Washington while in office. This is only the newest museum in the city. If you're interested in scientific research and experimental development than you might also enjoy the Academy of Natural Sciences or could take an afternoon to explore the Picasso exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

There are many places to go in Philadelphia with the whole family. You could spend a weekend away from selling lead glass, for example, at the Philadelphia Zoo or spend an evening experiencing the Lights of Liberty. The Liberty Bell is one of the most historic artifacts in the country and is now suspended from the spot where it is believed that it first hung. Penn's Landing has the RiverRink in the winter for skating and summer concerts and screenings under the stars in the warmer months. This is a great location for anyone, from those who have lived here all their life to a Toronto caterer in town for a conference looking for a nice night out in the city.

When it's time for a bite to eat, there are many places to choose from throughout the city. You could support the local food scene by eating at an establishment that supports local farmers. There are also several restaurants that allow you to bring your own bottle of wine with you to dinner. And everyone needs to experience a world famous Philly Cheesesteak while visiting the area. From John's Roast Pork to Pat's on Passyunk Avenue, there are lots of great locations to choose from. You could stop by after your spa package Georgia style or bring the kids for a fun dinner.
