10. Independence National Historical Park

OLD CITY.   Over 40 buildings situated on 45 acres and featuring the famed Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and a Visitors Center. This area, 50 years ago, was overgrown with warehouses, office buildings and rooming houses. The Park Service along with Society Hill stepped in to make this park a highly successful example of revitalization. You must get a free same-day ticket to tour Independance Hall (tour lasts 20 minutes, but only 85 people can be in at one time – expect long lines on weekends). Visitors may access Liberty Bell Pavilion through security entrances located along the west side of 5th Street, between Chestnut and Market Streets; Independence Hall, Old City Hall, and Congress Hall are accessed through security entrances along the west side of 5th Street south of Chestnut Street. Tickets must be obtained at the Independence Visitor's Center.   (© 10Best)
