About Philadelphia

Philadelphia is hosting six FIFA World Cup 2026 matches at Lincoln Financial Field, including a Round of 16 knockout on July 4 — fittingly, Independence Day in the city where American independence was declared. Five group-stage games feature Brazil, France, Croatia and Côte d'Ivoire. The South Philadelphia Sports Complex is directly connected by SEPTA rail to a historic, deeply walkable downtown.

Independence Hall & Liberty Bell

The UNESCO World Heritage site where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were debated and signed, alongside the iconic Liberty Bell.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

One of the largest art museums in the United States, famous for its sweeping collection and the 'Rocky Steps' at its entrance.

Reading Terminal Market

A historic enclosed public market operating since 1893, with more than 75 vendors serving Philadelphia's signature foods.
