Trap or Trip: Tourist Spots You Might Consider Avoiding

Let Freedom Ring – At a Distance

The Liberty Bell, an enduring symbol known to nearly every American, gained fame for its ringing after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. However, the bell predates this historic event, dating back to 1752, and bears a significant crack down the middle that formed during the 19th century.

Located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Liberty Bell is open for visits. While enthusiasts of colonial history may appreciate the experience, it's worth noting that getting too close to the bell is prohibited. For some visitors, the extended queues just to capture a photo of a metal artifact may detract from the overall enjoyment of the visit.
