Independence Hall is a great place to start out your day in Center City. This historic government building comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Liberty Bell Center, University of Pennsylvania, and Wells Fargo Center to fully appreciate what the area has to offer.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,010 reviews)

Upon arrival we noted air conditioner was not cold. Very nice Ms. Emily helped reset and it was cold for a minute. She called engineering. We had to leave for an event and when we returned to the room much later noted it was still high 70's. Restless, hot night of sleep. The band was fabulous, all staff great especially Marie, Willie, Griffin.

Pick up your tickets from the visitor center more than 45 min ahead of time or they will give them away! I found the whole process in need of improvement. They gave our tickets away and made us wait an hour- which is fine I saw the fine print. But then for the next tour we were asked to be in line 30 min ahead of time---we sat around and waited once we got in there. Then a group of 4 ladies show up who never went and got their tickets--theirs were given away too of course but the volunteer said it happens all the time and let them in anyways in front of other people! Seems like the process is in need of some revamping.

You have to get your ticket to tour the independence hall from the visitor center, otherwise you can walk around the grounds , but can't go inside Independence Hall

We were just driving through the Downtown Philly area... it was teeming with people, cobblestone streets and horse drawn carriages! It was a great drive-by... so much history... and fun to see “National Treasure”’s setting! (didn’t have time to be a tourist this time...)
