Must be nice to have a federal job and do a whole lot of nothing. There were stalls... More

This park is definitely your first stop in Philly, but you should really arrive here early, 9 am would be best. You probably should follow this sequence: 1 - Bell center 2 - Visitor Center, get ticket for Independence Hall 3 - Go into the security area, if still have time before your ticket time, go to Congress Hall first,...

Get to visitor centre early for foc timed tour tickets. Very well organised set up. You could look at American history all day in the 19 buildings all within walking distance.
