Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Philadelphia (sometimes referred to as "Philly" or "the City of Brotherly Love") is the fifth most populous city in the United States and the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, both in area and population. Philadelphia is also one of the largest college/university towns in the United States with over 120,000 students studying within the city limits alone and nearly 300,000 total college and university students in the metropolitan area. Philadelphia served as the temporary capital for a decade, until 1800, when the Capitol building in the new Federal city of Washington, DC was opened. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Philadelphia

Philadelphia Travel Guide Fodor's Online Historically speaking, Philadelphia is a city of superlatives: the world's largest municipal park; the best collection of public art in the United States; the widest variety of urban architecture in America; and according to some experts, the greatest concentration of institutions of higher learning in the country. Philadelphia is a place of contrasts: Grace Kelly and Rocky Balboa; Le Bec-Fin -- one of the nation's finest French haute cuisine restaurants -- and the fast-food heaven of Jim's Steaks; 18th-century national icons standing next to 21st-century skyscrapers. In addition, Philadelphia is known as a city of neighborhoods (109 by one count). www.fodors.com /miniguides/mgresults.cfm?destination=philadelphia@119
