2023 ACA Philadelphia Planning Guide_153rd Congress of Correction

Welcome to Philadelphia

William Penn named his city by combining the Greek words for love (phileo) and brother (adelphos), setting up the enduring civic nickname: the City of Brotherly Love. The first World Heritage City in the U.S., Philadelphia is home to American history, chef-driven cuisine, abundant outdoor space, and an unparalleled arts and culture community. You can visit Independence Hall where the Founders created the Declaration of Independence and see the Liberty Bell just across Chestnut Street. Shop and eat your way through 80+ vendors at the Reading Terminal Market, one of America’s oldest and largest indoor farmer’s markets or explore the 9 th Street Italian Market, where you can retrace Rocky’s famous jog or visit the iconic Rocky statue on the steps of the world-class Philadelphia Museum of Art. Philadelphia houses a host of top-class museums including the Museum of the American Revolution and the Mütter Museum — named one of Lonely Planet’s “unique museums around the world you can’t miss.” Don’t forget to grab a cheesesteak as you enjoy Philadelphia!
