Philadelphia is forever etched in American history as the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence. It is home to Independence Hall, where the US Constitution was signed, and Liberty Bell, which summoned citizens for the first reading of the Declaration of Independence. Centuries later, the city has become a highly urbanized metropolitan area. Nonetheless, its rich history is well-preserved through the many historic landmarks in the city, particularly within Independence National Historical Park. The city also features several green spaces, such as Fairmount Park. This park has numerous recreational facilities, such as ball fields, hiking paths, and swimming pools. While there are many hotels across the city, nothing beats feeling at home in a self-catering cabin. Check out the top cabin rentals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, below, for peaceful stays.
