Set off for a hassle-free summer escape
Bucks County
If antique shops, covered bridges, and historic B&Bs are your idea of a charming way to spend a summer weekend, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is tailor-made for you. Throw in some truly divine restaurants, abundant outdoor activities, and a winery or two and you’ve got a getaway almost anyone can enjoy. If you’ve got the kids in tow, head to Sesame Place in Langhorne or take them tubing on the Delaware River; be sure to grab a bite at the River Hot Dog Man for a memorable lunch at an in-the-water picnic table. For more adult fun, discover the art galleries, specialty stores, and upscale restaurants of New Hope, or take a bike or driving tour of the county’s many covered bridges – a sure way to inspire romance.
How: Bucks County is less than a 1-hour drive from Philadelphia, 2.5 hours from Baltimore, and 1.5 hours from New York. If you’re not coming by car, fly to Philadelphia (PHL) from dozens of cities across the U.S.
