This is one of the most popular restaurants in Lancaster. They don't accept reservations so if you're here on a weekend expect a long wait. If you're able to get a table, try any of the award-winning cocktails and get a side of the horse fries. Staff is incredibly friendly and personable too.

One of the most famous hikes in Lancaster. It's an easy/moderate out-and-back hike along a picturesque stream that empties into the Susquehanna River. There are plenty of places to stop for pictures along the way. Additionally, it's part of a larger trail network (check the AllTrails app to see more!)

Another popular hike in Lancaster! This one is my personal favorite as it's a little smaller and often less traveled than Tucquan Glen. It's slightly more difficult and there are a few stream crossings on this one. It's an out-and-back hike.

Historic Churches

There are a number of historic churches that architecture fans might want to walk by. St. James, St. Mary's, St. John's, First Presbyterian, and First Reformed are a few examples. My suggestion would be to start with the street murals and just keep a keen eye out for steeples as you're walking/driving around the city.
