The Keystone State offers visitors a plethora of places to see and experience during their stay. Pennsylvania is a diverse state, with urban and rural areas and natural beauty that give tourists a chance to see the best of both worlds.
Pennsylvania should be a prominent feature on everyone’s bucket list, from glitzy glamorous cities to the tranquility of its seemingly endless farmlands and natural wonders. Here are five places visitors should add to their itinerary:
Lancaster County
For a look at Pennsylvania’s quieter side of life, a visit to Lancaster will provide insight into Amish and other Dutch communities that call this area home. Exploring the Amish way of life is possible with farm and orchard tours, in addition to buying Amish crafts and homemade treats at a local farmers market.
Parx Casino
When looking for some excitement, consider a real money online casino experience. While many visitors undertake trips to brick-and-mortar casinos, there is no need if your itinerary is already full. Pennsylvania has some of the country’s most progressive online gambling laws, meaning that you can gamble from your hotel room, on the road, or anywhere else during your stay. Research real money online casino options before selecting one to ensure it is a legitimate operation.
Hershey
For a solo female traveler with a sweet tooth, no visit to Pennsylvania would be replete without a visit to the Hershey chocolate factory’s birthplace. Aside from tasting the company’s many chocolate delights, visitors can see the museum that provides insight into Hershey’s history.
Lake Erie
A road trip to Lake Erie’s shores will not disappoint the visitors, as it allows them to enjoy hiking trails, picturesque panoramic sights, and Lake Erie’s Maritime Museum. For those with a taste for adventure, book a ride on a replica of the U.S. Brig Niagara, a ship that featured strongly in 1812’s Battle of Lake Erie.
Harrisburg
Pennsylvania’s capital city is an architectural marvel, with its Capitol building dominating its skyline. The four-floor State Museum of Pennsylvania is replete with exhibits that will have Civil War buffs in their element, exploring relics and stories about significant battles that took place during the War.
City Island is a mile-long island on the Susquehanna River on which Harrisburg sits and is a venue for leisure activities such as hiking, walking, and cycling.
