Lancaster County

Day Trips in Philadelphia

"Lancaster County, an hour and 40 minutes away by driving from Philadelphia, makes an ideal day trip for nature lovers. Lancaster’s beautiful, rural landscape, full of farmlands, hills, and maple and pine trees, has plenty of campgrounds for anyone needing a break from urban life. Lancaster is also known for its large Amish community, where modern dress and technology are shunned. You can explore Amish life through tours of Amish villages, led either by the Amish or ex-Amish community members; buggy rides; and farmers markets that sell Amish-made furniture, quilts, toys, and produce." - MATADOR_NETWORK
