Christmas and New Year is coming. It is a holiday season, and you surely want to plan a trip to… err, how about a Benjamin Franklin trip to Philadelphia?
Philadelphia is one of the most beautiful historical city in the United States of America, so make sure you visit Franklin Court, the home of Benjamin Franklin. You can see the printing press he used; a park ranger dressed in colonial clothes will show you how it works. You can, too, get a copy of one of Franklin’s artworks.
Next stop you should consider is the Underground Museum. They have some of Franklin’s beautiful furniture. They also have a room full of telephones on little stands. Try to dial some different numbers, you can hear what famous people say about Franklin. Do not miss the historical Liberty Bell. It was rung when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. And then swing your feet to Independence Hall. Check out the courtroom and another room where Franklin, along with Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and many other founding fathers, signed the Constitution of the United States. You will find the original desk, quill pens and inkwells they used more than 200 years ago.
In the evening, when you are worn out of all those historical trips, treat yourself in one of many restaurants, cafes or bars. Most recommended one is the Italian Bistro with its famous mozzarella and tiramisu. And stop by the famous Reading Terminal Market before you head back to your hotel. In Philadelphia there are many car rental companies. Renting the right car from the right car rental company may help you enjoy those historical places more easily.
