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

Barnes Foundation
The magnificent Barnes Foundation, just outside the city limits in suburban Merion, will enchant you. Albert Barnes crammed his French provincial mansion, built around 1925, with more than 1,000 masterpieces -- 180 Renoirs, 69 Cézannes, innumerable Impressionists and post-Impressionists, and a generous sampling of European art from the Italian primitives onward. Each wall is filled with masterpieces, hung, literally, from floor to ceiling. The Barnes reopened in November 1995 after a world tour of more than 80 masterworks from the collection and a $12-million renovation of the galleries.Barnes believed that art has a quality that can be explained objectively -- for example, one curve will be beautiful and hence art, and another that's slightly different will not be art. That's why the galleries display antique door latches, keyholes, keys, and household tools with strong geometric lines right next to the paintings. Connections beg to be drawn between neighboring objects -- an unusual van Gogh nude, an Amish chest, New Mexico rural icons. Virtually every first-rank European artist is included: Degas, Seurat, Bosch, Tintoretto, Lorrain, Chardin, Daumier, Delacroix, Corot, and more. Not a bad use of a fortune made from patent medicine!The bad news is that the Barnes organization is rife with lawsuits, and due to complaints of "not in my backyard" neighbors who object to crowds, visiting hours are extremely limited and require reservations far in advance. Summer hours in July and August are Wednesday through Friday; in other months, the museum is open Friday through Sunday. In fall 2002, the Trustees filed court papers to move the museum to a new downtown home on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, against the wishes of Dr. Barnes; this has brought a raft of new controversy, though many Philadelphians would love to see the collection in a more accessible venue near other top museums. The historic building could then remain as an educational facility. Stay tuned, and call well ahead of your anticipated visit for reservations.

Masonic Temple
Quite apart from its Masonic lore, the temple -- among the world's largest -- is one of America's best on-site illustrations of the use of post-Civil War architecture and design -- no expense was spared in the construction, and the halls are more or less frozen in time. There are seven lodge halls, designed to capture the seven "ideal" architectures: Renaissance, Ionic, Oriental, Corinthian, Gothic, Egyptian, and Norman (notice that Renaissance was the newest style that architect James Windrim could come up with!). This is the preeminent Masonic Temple of American Freemasonry; many of the Founding Fathers, including Washington, were Masons, and the museum has preserved their letters and emblems.

The Liberty Bell
You can't leave Philadelphia without seeing the Liberty Bell. The Bell is housed in a new 13,000-square-foot, $12.4 million glass pavilion, 235 feet long and 50 feet wide, angled so you can see it against the backdrop of Independence Hall, but avoiding the brutal modern Penn Mutual skyscraper flanking the Hall.The Liberty Bell, America's symbol of freedom and independence, was commissioned in 1751 for the Pennsylvania State House to mark the 50th anniversary of a notable event: William Penn, who governed Pennsylvania alone under Crown charter terms, decided that free colonists had a right to govern themselves, so he established the Philadelphia Assembly under a new Charter of Privileges. The 2,000-pound bell, cast in England, cracked while it was being tested, and the Philadelphia firm of Pass and Stow recast it by 1753. It hung in Independence Hall to "proclaim liberty throughout the land" as the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to the citizens. In 1777, it survived a trip to an Allentown church so the British wouldn't melt it down for ammunition. The last time it tolled was to celebrate Washington's birthday in 1846. The term Liberty Bell was coined by the abolitionist movement, which recognized the relevance of its inscription, "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof," in the fight against slavery.The new building offers excellent information and interactive exhibits, including an X-ray of the bell's crack and a film produced by the History Channel about how the bell became an international icon of freedom. Language options for the narrative videos range from Russian to Chinese to German.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Philadelphia area, including:

Philadelphia Airport Hilton
The Philadelphia Airport Hilton is out of the way of flight patterns and features a just-renovated lobby and cocktail lounge built around a lushly planted indoor pool. Like all airport hotels, business travelers predominate during the week, and reservations are recommended. The guest rooms, with whirlpool-equipped bathrooms redone in 2000, are classically American -- spacious and comfortable -- and will all be renovated by 2005.

Crowne Plaza Philadelphia Center City
The Crowne Plaza offers solid, generic, primarily business-traveler-oriented accommodations. It's popular with conventioneers and relocating executives, and prices are competitive in an effort to maintain occupancy. The lobby, which dispenses coffee and apples all day, has entrances from both 18th Street and the garage. A parking garage and meeting halls occupy the next six floors, and rooms and several suites fill the next 17 floors. By Philadelphia standards, the rooms are large, and they were renovated in 2004. Furnishings include coffeemakers, telephones with dataports, and plush carpeting. Bathrooms are slightly shabby. Two floors are devoted to Executive Level suites, offering upgraded decor and complimentary breakfast. There is an espresso bar and a casual pub, the Elephant & Castle, on the lobby level.

Sheraton University City
This concrete block of a Sheraton, midway between Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania, has a new traditional theme throughout, thanks to a recent renovation, luxurious plush beds, over-size business desks with ergonomic chairs, and all new amenities as of June 2004. It still remains popular with visiting parents and conference attendees, and it's 1 block from the subway, and 4 from the Amtrak station and the three University City hospitals. The Sheraton offers a heated outdoor pool and sun deck on the Chestnut Street side of the building. The restaurant Pallet offers upscale dining, while Java Concepts serves coffee daily from 6:30am.
