Pennsylvania Travel Tips

Pennsylvania

In a region of the country where it's possible to drive through six or seven little states in just one day, Pennsylvania - which is 309 miles (497km) across and 38 times larger than nearby Rhode Island - is one massive rectangle.

Cosmopolitan cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh may be what get most play. But a journey across its middle is far from monotonous. It's more like a fascinating minidrive across the country, as you'll truly encounter a little taste of everything that makes America what it is.
