Make sure to visit Independence Hall, where both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. A trip to Philly would not be complete without seeing the iconic Liberty Bell, whose chime changed the world! Philadelphia is a wonderful travel destination for any history buff. It was here that many of the ideas and subsequent actions gave birth to the American Revolution and American Independence. The birthplace of “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness', Philadelphia was founded more than 300 years ago by William Penn on principles of equality and freedom of expression. Today, the 'City of Brotherly Love' is a welcoming place for all LGBT travelers.
