If you are really interested in American history, spend the day at the Independence National Historic Park. Should you be a history buff, reserve two days. For parking sites, look out for the Bourse Garage or the Old City Parking.

Yes, you can see a map at the National Park Service website of everything at Independence Park.

Yes open till 6 pm. But I’d triple check before going down. It’s a great experience.

No, solamente Inglés.

No, you will need to park and do yourself a favor: take another form of transport to get to that downtown area.

Hi, It's 1471 yards from 1074 E Venago St, Philadelphia PA

It is a huge park spanning blocks of the city. Washington Square is nearby and picturesque. It's a nice area for them to run in the grass. Franklin Fountain is near the printing office and has great desserts and locally made ice cream. Next to it is a candy shop.

A closed cap bottle should be fine, and I think as long as food is kept closed and put in closed purse, you should be fine. But they do check your bag before letting you in the area. The tour runs every 30' (approximately), and about 80-100 people each group for 4-5 hours, so probably 500 people each day? I got there at 8.30 (Sunday) to wait for opening door at 9 to get tickets, so the line was short.

Best bet is to take a taxi to NHP (probably the fastest way). You don't need tickets to see the Liberty Bell; we hit the Liberty Bell around 4:00 pm and there was virtually no line, but I don't think it's open past 5:00. However, if you want a good tour and have some extra money, the BIG BUS CO. tour on double-decker buses is well worth it. You get to see downtown Philly from the waterfront, in and around the historical area, and all the way up to the Phila Museum of Art (and the "Rocky" steps). The loop takes under an hour, and there are 28 stops (get on and off at any one of them, and another bus will be around to pick you up in 15 minutes). The bus tour guides are very entertaining and give you a lot of inside info on Philly's history.

I've stayed at Best Western Plus Independence Park Hotel on Chestnut Street (across from Museum of the American Revolution before. Great hotel and great location to see Old City Philadelphia.
