PHILADELPHIA - Visiting the Liberty Bell Center in Philadelphia is a must if you plan a city trip. This free museum features exhibits and the iconic Liberty Bell. The building is located at 526 Market Street and can be accessed from Market Street or Chestnut Street. Visiting the Liberty Bell Center requires a security screening and is free of charge. The line to enter the building begins during the summer early.


To avoid long lines, consider visiting the Liberty Bell Center early in the day. This way, you can change your schedule if the line is too long and return at a later time. Visiting the Liberty Bell Center during peak tourist seasons is best done early in the morning. It is possible to line up before 9 AM. Try to visit on a weekday to avoid the peak summer rush.

The entrance to the Liberty Bell Center is located near the Market and 6th Streets intersection, across from Independence Hall. The Presidents' House is located on the southeast corner of this intersection. This was the home of George Washington and John Adams. The building also contains a partially reconstructed Presidents' House. Afterward, the security screening line may stretch to the intersection of 6th and Chestnut Streets.
