"While it might seem overly touristy, it’s absolutely worth checking out. The park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases the story of the beginning of the US, starting with revolutionary debates through the formation of its modern government. The footprint of the place is huge, taking up seven blocks that are jam-packed with history: Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Constitution crafted), the Liberty Bell, the Constitution Center, and the President’s House, just to name a few. There’s even a recreation of City Tavern, the most popular bar among the founding fathers. Tickets are free for most attractions (pay $1 online to avoid the lines), though the Constitution Center is $14.50." - MATADOR_NETWORK
