New Hope, Lambertville (which is across the river from New hope), and Doyelstown are popular destinations for Philadelphians to escape to over the weekend. There are lots of things to explore including cute shops, restaurants (reservations suggested), local theatres, and various events/festivals.

This would be more of a full day trip, but there is a train from Doyelstown (about 20 min from New Hope) that will take you to center city. Reading Terminal Market, The Convention Center, and Fashion District are right outside of Jefferson Station. The Liberty Bell/Independence Hall is only about 5 blocks from Jefferson Station. There are plenty of other things to do as well of course, but be mindful that many things will require tickets or reservations in advance.

An "old fashion" village filled with shops and restaurants and often has various types of events occuring on the weekends.

A botanical museum/garden in New Hope that uses only native plants and thus serves as a sanctuary and an educational resource. There are a lot of different walking paths to enjoy.



*There are a lot of various hikes and walking paths in the area including the Delaware canal towpath
