During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Lights of Liberty
Since the summer of 1999, the most important park sights have been the backdrop for the world's first interactive sound-and-light walking tour, providing visitors with a lively, fun, high-tech immersion into the drama of the American Revolution as it happened and where it happened. You'll walk as night falls over Old City past trendy bars and restaurants, but be transported into Philadelphia 2 centuries ago: Five-story projections on historic buildings and wireless headsets equipped with movie-style "surround" sound make it the closest "virtual" Colonial experience money can buy.The ground floor of the PECO Energy Center, next to Independence and Congress Halls on Chestnut Street, has been transformed into a group ticketing and holding area. Try to arrive at dusk, especially with kids, since there's a maximum of 50 per tour and it's first-come, first-served. You'll pick up headsets automatically tuned to a script read by such actors as Ossie Davis and Charlton Heston, and which are triggered automatically as your group arrives at the planned Park destinations. Younger children might prefer the alternative kids' headsets.Led by a guide, you'll walk across the moonlit cobblestone streets to Park sites, where the Revolutionary story is compressed into five acts. Rifles crackle, cannons boom, and the founders of America argue with actual quotes interwoven into the script. They're backed with choral music and a soundtrack performed by members of the Philadelphia Orchestra. The visuals are somewhere between shadow-box projections and animation, with superb color and resolution. The finale of 1776 takes place right in back of Independence Hall, and it's irresistibly thrilling.

Fisher Fine Arts (Furness) Library
Like the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts building , this citadel of learning has the characteristic chiseled thistle of Frank Furness, although it was built a decade later from 1888 to 1890. The use of 1890s leaded glass here is even richer than on the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts building. Originally the University's library, the building now houses, appropriately, the fine arts library of the University of Pennsylvania. It's best viewed in a quick look while on the U. Penn quadrangle.

Carpenters' Hall
Carpenters' Hall (1773) was the guildhall for -- guess who? -- carpenters. At the time, the city could use plenty of carpenters, since 18th-century Philadelphia was the fastest-growing urban area in all the Colonies and perhaps in the British Empire outside of London. Robert Smith, a Scottish member of the Carpenters' Company, designed the building (like most carpenters, he did architecture and contracting as well). He also designed the steeple of Christ Church, with the same calm Georgian lines. The edifice is made of Flemish Bond brick in a checkerboard pattern, with stone windowsills, superb woodwork, and a cupola that resembles a saltshaker.You'll be surprised at how small Carpenters' Hall is given the great events that transpired here. In 1774, the normal governmental channels to convey Colonial complaints to the Crown were felt inadequate, and a popular Committee of Correspondence debated in Carpenters' Hall. The more radical delegates, led by Patrick Henry, had already expressed treasonous wishes for independence, but most wanted to exhaust possibilities of bettering their relationship with the Crown first.What's here now isn't much -- an exhibit of Colonial building methods; some portraits; and Windsor chairs that seated the First Continental Congress. If some details seem to be from a later period, you're right: The fanlights above the north and south doors date from the 1790s, and the gilding dates from 1857. Hours are short because the Carpenters' Company still maintains the hall.

Rittenhouse Square Bed and Breakfast
Steps from chic Rittenhouse Square, the pristine park ringed by million-dollar apartments and historic mansions, Rittenhouse Square Bed and Breakfast is the city's best incarnation of a small, European-style luxury hotel. The inn is located at the heart of Center City, a 10-minute walk to the Convention Center, the Franklin Institute, and City Hall, but feels private on its tiny, leafy street a block from Walnut Street's shopping corridor. Set in a large mansion built around 1911, the lobby exudes haute-British style, and wine is served at 5pm. Upstairs, burrow under Frette linens and revel in cream-colored Berber carpets, antiques, and reproductions of Louis XIV and Chippendale furniture in one of 10 surprisingly large guest rooms and suites. Or check e-mail -- the inn is equipped with DSL lines and workstations. All guest rooms have new marble bathrooms, and pastries and fruit are served in the morning from the city's best bakery, Metropolitan, to round out the sophisticated experience -- so much so that children under 12 are not welcome.

Four Seasons Hotel
It was rated the best hotel in Philly in the 2003 Zagat Guide, has earned five diamonds from AAA, and been named one of the top 20 U.S. hotels in Condé Nast Traveler: the Four Seasons' luxury is refined and understated. Built in 1983, the Four Seasons is an eight-story curlicue on Logan Square, with views of the exquisite Swann Fountain and a lush interior courtyard, and has just been completely renovated throughout with beautiful new fabrics and furnishings. The pale-toned lobby has enormous masses of flowers, intimate seating areas, and honey-colored woods. The peach-hued lounge and promenade serve as foyers to the dining and meeting facilities and are paneled in a rare white mahogany. Guest rooms have a rich American elegance: The overstuffed chairs and rich carpets are in tones of pale yellow and sage, and in-room business and tech capabilities are tops. The bathrooms have a wonderful marble dressing area, and excellent lighting. All the rooms have windows or private verandas boasting marvelous views of Logan Circle or the interior courtyard. If you can get a room with a view down the Parkway to the Art Museum and across to the Free Library, you will be dazzled both by day and at night.The Four Seasons restaurants regularly collect raves from local reviewers. The Fountain Restaurant, under executive chef Martin Hamann, is a classic, a favorite among Philly residents for unstuffy service and a fabulous Sunday brunch. Natural light streams over 150 wide armchair seats and tapestries, fresh flowers, and walnut paneling. Another great option is dining in the hotel's cafe room, which offers slightly more casual fare from Hamann's kitchen at about half the price of a Fountain dinner. The Swann Lounge has marble-top tables and a colorful, civilized look like something out of a Maurice Prendergast sketch. It's open for an extensive lunch, afternoon tea, and cocktails.Facilities: 2 restaurants; cafe; indoor heated pool; health club with Universal machines, Exercycles, and exercise mats; spa; Jacuzzi; concierge; town-car service within Center City; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning.

Gables
This lovely 1889 Victorian was one of West Philadelphia's first and finest mansions. The location is about 8 blocks west of the University of Pennsylvania's main campus. It's right at the SEPTA trolley line stop in Center City, 5 minutes from 30th Street Station, and 15 minutes from the airport. It's an excellent choice for visiting academics, parents of students, prospective applicants, and relaxed tourists.Eight formal areas are filled with antiques. There are sitting rooms, a breakfast room, and a wraparound porch; five bedrooms with private bathrooms and four bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms are on the top two floors. All rooms have gorgeous inlaid wood floors, and three have charming corner turrets, and most rooms have private bathrooms. Closets, armoires, lamps, and desks fit in with the Victorian decor. There is a lovely yard and garden; home-baked muffins, breads, fresh fruit, and casseroles make up the breakfasts.
