Philadelphia

WEEKEND BREAKS

The United States was born at the Pennsylvania State House, better known today as Independence Hall, in Philadelphia on 04 July 1776.  The date signifies the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution was also drafted here which laid the framework for the nation's future.

William Penn - the founder of Pennsylvania - envisaged a people of all faiths living in harmony and freedom, hence the city's nickname "the city of brotherly love".  Experience today a wonderful city packed with cultural and historical sites, great shopping and some of the best dining in north America.

Our 3 night/4 day 'Birthplace Of The Nation' weekend packages include a choice of three great city hotels - the Holiday Inn Historic District, the Hotel Sofitel and the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
