Day Trips From Philadelphia to Lancaster County

30+ Day Trip Ideas for Visiting Lancaster’s Amish Country

Lancaster County is only a 90-minute drive from Philadelphia. But in many ways Lancaster is a whole different world away.

• The largest concentration of Amish in the U.S.
• Horse-drawn buggies on our back country roads
• 28 working covered bridges, more than anywhere else in Pennsylvania
• The home of over 20 annual mud sales each year (What’s a Mud Sale?)
• Numerous farmers markets, including the oldest continually operating farmers market in the country
• Handmade Amish Quilts and Hand-Crafted Amish Furniture
• A reputation for farm fresh food
• Rolling hills of wide open countrysides, farms, and farm animals
• and quaint small towns such as Intercourse and Bird-in-Hand and Lititz

 

Come Get Away to the Atmosphere of the Amish Country
