Long hidden in the shadows of New York City and, to a certain extent, Washington D.C, Philadelphia is one of America's most overlooked cities. It's in southeastern Pennsylvania, in the mid-Atlantic region, and is the sixth most-populous city in the United States.
Often referred to as "Philly," the city is coterminous with Philadelphia County. Philadelphia sits adjacent to the New Jersey and Delaware borders, and as such, its metropolitan area encompasses counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
Philadelphia is now seen as an up-and-coming major US destination filled with history, an impressive culinary scene, a buoyant arts scene, and some of the best hidden treasures in the country.
