Gettysburg is a lovely little Pennsylvania town surrounded by rolling countryside, historic farms and some of the most significant Civil War sites in the country. It's a great choice for anyone with an interest in American history, with lots of characterful places to stay, from traditional inns in the centre to cosy B&Bs out in the countryside. Federal Pointe Inn is our favourite, a beautifully restored 19th century building with elegant period interiors, comfortable rooms and a welcoming restaurant. It's also well placed for exploring the town and its famous battlefields.
Most visitors come to Gettysburg to explore the sites of the famous 1863 Civil War battle, and there's certainly plenty to see. Start at Gettysburg National Military Park, where you can walk or drive around the huge battlefield, visit the museum and see important landmarks such as Little Round Top and Devil's Den. The Soldiers' National Cemetery is another must-see, marking the spot where Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address. There's more to the area than battlefields, though. You can go hiking, cycling or horse-riding in the surrounding countryside, visit the former home of President Eisenhower or spend a relaxed afternoon wandering Gettysburg's historic streets.
