    Sightseeing in Philadelphia

    Sights of Philadelphia are not hard to come by - the city itself is a sightseeing extravaganza, but there are also a range of must-do things that you can add to your sightseeing list. Don't forget to make time for some of the more unusual things such as the Italian Market or the Eastern State Penitentiary.
