Its compact area contains major religious, artistic, and architectural landmarks associated with the Catholic Church. At its center is St Peter’s Square, framed by the sweeping colonnade designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and leading to St Peter’s Basilica, built over the traditional site of the tomb of the Apostle Peter.

Philadelphia, the birthplace of American democracy, offers visitors a rare opportunity to walk through the very streets where the nation’s founding ideals were debated, signed, and set into motion. The city's art scene is as bold as its history. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is home to works by Van Gogh, Duchamp, and an entire Japanese teahouse, but it might be better known for the "Rocky Steps" out front, where visitors recreate the famous movie scene daily.
