Pennsylvania

Travel from Philadelphia, the very seat of American history, north to nature’s playground in the Pocono Mountains. Savor the wines and lush countryside of New York’s Finger Lakes region on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. Luxuriate at Barton Hill and thrill to the thunder of six million gallons a minute plunging over Niagara Falls.

Contrast that with some quiet time on Presque Isle and in Erie.

Stand in awe of the transformation of Pittsburgh, America’s steel city into a great contemporary travel destination. In Gettysburg, you’ll stay right on the battlefield, with its timeless story. Follow an Amish buggy down a winding country road amongst the quaint pristine fields where the timeless lives of the Amish never change. Fly home with great memories.
