About Independence Hall
Located just outside of Old City, Independence Hall is found in the heart of Philadelphia. Now a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, the building was the location where both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were adopted. The hall is now a featured part of the National Independence Historical Park and sees over 4 million visitors each year. Tickets to Independence Hall are free and are only needed between March to December.
Fun Fact: Even if you can’t manage a visit, you can still spot the famous hall on the back of the hundred dollar bill.
