Philadelphia has long lived in the overwhelming shadow of New York City, just 90 miles down the road, but this lovely city is chock-full of terrific museums, cultural centers and great restaurants. An urban renewal program kick-started in the 1970s continues to this day, revitalizing the city that was William Penn's capital and the beating heart of the Revolutionary cause.
