Philadelphia & Capital Region
Settled by British colonists in the 1600s, Philadelphia quickly became the birthplace of the quest for freedom, which led to the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Today, historic landmarks such the Liberty Bell complement the major attractions you would expect to find in any modern city. Beyond Philadelphia discover Amish communities in the Pennsylvania Dutch countryside and Civil War battlefields around Gettysburg. Venture into Virginia and experience the state that was so central during the turmoil of the Civil War, from preserved battlefields to the natural splendor of Shenandoah National Park. Travel into Maryland and the bustling city of Baltimore with its vibrant and popular waterfront area, the Inner Harbour.
