Independence Hall is located in the heart of Philadelphia. One must receive a free ticket from the visitor center a block away in order to visit the building on a short tour. Only the first floor is shown and most of the objects are replicas; however, it is still very interesting. The Liberty Bell Center and Congress Hall are near Independence Hall and should also be visited. Other than the stern security guards (security clearance is needed in order to enter all buildings), every aspect of my visit was positive.

P.S. The world heritage plaque is located right outside the pre-tour meeting room so be ready with a camera if you want to have your picture taken with it as the tour will not wait for you!
