Overview
Take a trip to Pennsylvania on your United States Vacation
As one of the original colonies of the United States, Pennsylvania is a state steeped in history. From its 15th-century origins, the form laid down the foundations for America as the location for the Founding Fathers to craft the Declaration of Independence, the U.S Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address. Philadelphia, the state’s largest city, is home to the Liberty Bell, an iconic symbol of American independence for Abolitionists, suffragettes, and Civil Rights activists throughout the years. Visit Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was discussed, debated, and finalized, declaring America’s desire to be free from the British.
European roots run deep in Pennsylvania, home to the largest Amish communities in the United States. These descendants of Swiss-German religious communities are dedicated to tradition and simplicity, rejecting forms of contemporary living and bringing you a simpler pace of life with plenty of fresh foods in Lancaster, Chester, and Indiana County. Beyond the cultural hubs of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the state is abundant in rolling farmland and leafy woods, including gems with plenty of hiking and camping options at Allegheny National Forest, Hickory Run, or Ohiopyle State Park.
