Pennsylvania spans Philadelphia history, Amish country, and mountain getaways. Plan your trip here.
Philadelphia is more walkable than a city its size has any right to be: the Revolutionary landmarks, the great museums, and the food halls cluster close enough to cover on foot over a couple of days. A first trip works best built around neighborhoods rather than a checklist of sights.
Pennsylvania holds several very different worlds within a short drive. A day trip is the easy way to sample them: Amish farm country, a Civil War battlefield, a reinvented steel city, a mountain lake. Each makes a completely different day out, and you don’t have to pick just one.
Pennsylvania hides plenty of quiet romance within an easy drive of its cities: covered bridges in Bucks County, wineries in the hills, a small mountain town for the weekend. The appeal is how little planning a spontaneous getaway here actually takes.
