Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania

Philly. The City of Brotherly Love. It’s Pennsylvania’s most populous county, situated in the southeast corner of the state. It borders New Jersey to the east. The county’s home to world-class universities like Penn and Drexel.
Philly has a bit of everything. History? You bet. The Liberty Bell and Independence Hall are must-sees. Food? Try a cheesesteak. Sports fans are intense here (Eagles, Flyers, and Phillies). It’s loud, proud, and full of character.
Art lovers flock to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, famous for its “Rocky steps”. While Fairmount Park offers a green escape from urban life, Center City is filled with skyscrapers. Love it or hate it, there’s no place quite like Philadelphia County.
