Holiday Rentals In Pennsylvania

Welcome to our selection of holiday rentals in Pennsylvania.

Did you know that way back in 1946 Pennsylvania became home to the first computer? It is also home to one of the most important battles of the Civil War – The battle of Gettysburg.

With so much history behind it, Pennsylvania offers something for everyone who comes here. Visit the historic Liberty Bell, a symbol of America, which called inhabitants to the first reading of the Declaration of Independence and have your picture taken alongside it. While here, Penn’s Landing is a must visit for all military buffs. It displays naval history from times when sails propelled ships right up to the modern fleets.

Head to Center City to find just about everything that your heart desires. Right from shopping, monuments, parks, restaurants and dollar stores, you have it all here. Head to Samson Street if jewelry is what excites you.

The Academy of Natural Science is where you should head if you have children accompanying you. It has four floors of exhibitions along with interesting things to explore and keep the little ones engaged. It even has an animal shelter for rescued animals and birds.

If you are a theatre enthusiast, do visit the Avenue of the Arts where you will be spoilt for choice with theatres everywhere. The oldest opera house is also located here and is still in use so you might want to catch a performance while here. And if you are a history buff, you must head to Elfreth’s Alley, which is America’s oldest habited street with 300 year old Colonial and Federal style homes to see what colonial America looked like. Talk of the past blending seamlessly with the present!

Make a visit to the United States Mint where you can learn all about US coins and see the actual production process. If you just want to walk around and enjoy the scenery, head to Boathouse Row. It is a sight to behold at night when all the lights outline the boathouses. In mid-May you can catch the popular Dad Vail Regatta here.

If you want to relax and just go around the place in a relaxed manner, choose between a buggy ride that will take you through Amish country where you can witness the real Amish lifestyle and working farms or opt for a ride around the historic town. For the outdoors person there are biking, hiking and hot air balloons to choose from.

If all this makes you hungry, head to China Town for some authentic Chinese fare from over 50 restaurants. Or, if it’s a weekend, you could head to the Reading Terminal Market where the Amish open up stalls and sell a number of their traditional food. Besides this, you also have Italian, Indian and Philly Cheese steaks among others to choose from.

We are sorry but at the present time we do not have any holiday rentals available in Pennsylvania.
