Doesn’t the skyline of Philadelphia look picturesque?

I think it does! By the way, the waterway on the picture is the Schuylkill River, which is about 209 km long. It runs through Philadelphia, the largest city in Pennsylvania with 1.4 million inhabitants. The town was founded in 1682 and is therefore one of the oldest cities in the United States.

When thinking of the name of the city, my first thought is the movie Philadelphia, one of the first Hollywood films dealing with the topic of AIDS. Even if it is quite an old movie (from 1993), I think most of the people remember the film when thinking of the town Philadelphia.

If you intend to visit this city, you should not leave out the Philadelphia Museum of Art, founded in 1876 and built after the model of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The Philadelphia Museum is one of the largest in the US and has a selection of over 200 galleries. Moreover, around 20 exhibtitions are presented each year, including painters like Paul Cézanne or Salvador Dalí.

When the weather permits it, take a walk through the Love Park, officially named JFK Plaza, with the famous LOVE sculpture designed by Robert Indiana. Then, sit down on one of the stone steps and enjoy the sun by looking at the skateborders making dangerous moves…
