Harrisburg, PA: Pennsylvania State Capital


Harrisburg captures the small-town feel with urban appeal. Nestled along the beautiful Susquehanna River, where the dome of the capital building creates a striking skyline, Harrisburg is known for its rich history as well as its modern amenities. Harrisburg was even rated second for the best places to live in PA for 2022 by US News and World Report.


Located near the sweetest place on earth, Hershey, PA, Harrisburg is a unique destination with so much to offer. Family fun is around every corner! Discover endless miles of hiking and biking trails or your favorite coaster at Hershey Park on a sunny day. For an educational trip, explore a variety of different museums, like the National Civil War Museum, or participate in tours of places like Indian Echo Caverns in the Susquehanna Valley. Senators baseball games on City Island are always a great weekend activity for families as well. The Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex, located just north of the city, is home to year-round events and exhibits for all ages to attend.


The area offers fun for adults, too! Harrisburg is home to dozens of amazing vineyards, wineries, and breweries. These destinations have much more to offer than just beverages with live music, seasonal activities, and delicious food. Arts and cultural attractions are also very popular in the area. Engage in innovative exhibits at the Susquehanna Art Museum, The Art Association of Harrisburg, or The Millworks. If you would rather treat yourself to a relaxing and rejuvenating day the Spa at Hotel Hershey is the place for you!

Harrisburg is also home to countless outstanding restaurants with stellar cuisine.

A few fan favorites are Gabriella Italian Ristorante, The Melting Pot, Tomato Pie Cafe, and Gilligan's Bar and Grill.


Shop small in Harrisburg at Crossroads Antique Mall, Knock Knock Boutique, or Toys on the Square. There are also shopping malls and outlets conveniently located around the outskirts of Harrisburg City for whenever you are in need of some retail therapy. Live just a short drive from the Harrisburg International Airport and Pennsylvania turnpike for easy travel convenience as well.
