With a population of 1.4 million, the “City of Brotherly Love” is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the sixth largest city in the U.S. The greater Philadelphia metropolitan area is even larger, boasting a population of more than five million.  While thousands of tourists from around the world flock to this centerpiece of American history, millions of people call Philly home, and with good reason. 

Strolling through some of the many distinct neighborhoods in Philadelphia, one might come across Independence National Historical Park in Society Hill or academic campuses in the University City District. Row homes exist in many of the neighborhoods, a large number of which have been gentrified and restored to their once-glamorous facades. 

If Manhattan is known as the “City that Never Sleeps,” Philadelphia might affectionately be called the “City of Art, Culture and History.” From its many museums – the Franklin Institute, the Rodin Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art – to its historical sites, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, this city is rich in attractions.

For those who call Philly home, this bustling metropolis is much more than a set of national monuments. The economy is robust, with major corporations such as Aramark, Pep Boys, and Boeing Helicopter division all employing thousands of people. Top-notch hospitals are also here, including those at the University of Pennsylvania and Albert Einstein Hospital. The diverse population includes immigrants from many countries–Ireland, Italy, Poland, and Jamaica to name a few.

Public transportation is excellent, and commuters often take trains, rapid transit, or trolleys to work. So, hop on the bus, grab a cheese steak and come see what Philadelphia has to offer!
