Liberty Bell Center
The famous Liberty Bell, with its well-known crack. It is a symbol of American independence and the abolition movement. Entry is free, and through the glass you can see Independence Hall.
The Liberty Bell was originally cast for the Pennsylvania State House. The crack appeared in the 19th century, and the bell later became a symbol of the abolitionist and civil rights movements. The pavilion is free and requires no reservation. After security screening, you walk through the exhibition galleries. The window behind the bell faces Independence Hall, which makes it a classic photo spot. Mornings in summer are crowded, so go right at opening time or in the evening.
