Philadelphia has a fantastic Art Mucsum. Also the Rodin Museum in the same area.
Go to the Visitor's Center and het your free ticket to Indiepndence Hall. It will give you a time for your visit. Also visit the Constitution Center, Franklin Couirst, etc. These are all in the same area. There are also walking tours which are great.
There are all sorts of acitivities going on in Phila. For great information on activities and hotels, etc., go to

Central City is a compact area in Philly, there are many hotels within walking distance of everything. Take a look at Holiday Inn Independence Mall. Check out the Constitution Center and Independence Hall as well as many other places. I would suggest getting tickets on line ahead of time for most events to avoid long lines.

I would suggest taking the Trolley tour-
it is a great way to see the city and you can get on and off at any stop. You
can get a great overview of the city and know which areas you would like to go back and spend more time.
