Harrisburg Hotels And Motels

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania has grown from a modest ferry outpost to a picturesque capital city. It is a burgeoning center for arts and culture, and has all the advantages of urban life while maintaining its South Central Pennsylvania warmth and charm. It is also a relaxing and peaceful way to spend a vacation.

Riverfront Park and City Island both offer family fun along the Susquehanna banks, especially if you like water activities. You can cruise the river on the Pride of the Susquehanna paddlewheeler. Or get a wetter, wilder perspective from a canoe, paddleboat or jet ski. In City Island, you also have an abundance of eating options, like crab cakes, sausages, hamburgers and hot dogs. City Island also offers plenty of shops, miniature golf, a restored carousel, and carriage rides to take you through the city.

If you want to delve into Harrisburg's historical side, I recommend the National Civil War Museum. It is the only museum of its kind in the US, and tells the full, unbiased story of the Civil War. Neither the Confederates nor the Union are given preferential treatment here, so this is an excellent place to learn the facts. Another major Harrisburg site is the State Capitol, a beautiful 27-story structure covering five and a half acres.
