PHiLADELPHiA & The Countryside This is a place that looks back on its past and celebrates its firsts — first zoo, first merry-go-round, first ice cream. Philly’s suburbs boast the rolling landscapes of the Brandywine Valley and Bucks County, elegant mansions, luscious gardens, and sites that commemorate the five-county region’s contributions to American history, from battlefields to the Liberty Bell. Meanwhile, Philadelphia’s contemporary treasures and ambitious restaurant scene have added flavor and panache to the neighborhoods, while cultural gems and renowned museums engage, educate, and inspire.
