I'm having to fly into Philly tomorrow and will have from 12-10pm to sightsee. I am already going the next day to constitution hall/liberty bell. So what I am wandering is what else should I see during my 10 free hours tomorrow. I have never been to Philly so have no clue. Will be taxing everywhere. Don't care for shopping.

Don't want to just go wandering around not knowing where to go!!

Thanks so much

Behind the marriott hotel at 12th and Market St you can pick up a sightseeing tour that will take you past all the sights and you can get on and off all day. They are expensive, maybe $35.00 for the day per person but worth it. I think the trolly works is the best value but they also have the double decker buses and ride the ducks. Also ask about lunch at the Reading terminal Market accross 12th St. Monday isn't the best day because the amish don't open until Wednesday but it is still worth a look and plenty of good food.

Go to the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. Wonderful museum, you can easily spend 5 hours there.
