City

Philadelphia

1,603,797 people (2020)

Birthplace of American democracy, Philadelphia layers centuries of revolutionary history alongside a ferocious food scene anchored by legendary cheesesteaks, Reading Terminal Market, and James Beard-winning restaurants. The compact downtown makes it easy to bounce between the Liberty Bell, world-class museums, and vibrant neighborhoods like Fishtown and South Philly in a single trip.
