Over Philadelphia

Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field hosts six World Cup matches, including a Round of 16. The stadium shares a sports complex with Wells Fargo Center and Citizens Bank Park in South Philly — a major matchday district in its own right.

Philly is the most historic US host city — Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Rocky steps — and the most walkable downtown. All three combine to make it a strong three-day stay even without the matches.
