If you’re looking for a fall day trip in Delaware, I highly suggest you pack your camera and car and head down to the city of Dover. Once you park near the Green, wander around the beautiful legislative buildings and enjoy all of the colors of fall pitched against the stunning, historic brick buildings. If you’re on our Delaware Fall Foliage Road Trip, Dover is the perfect place to hop out of the car, stretch your legs, grab a bite to eat, and take some photographs.

Dover, Delaware is more than our state's capital City.

Dover's legislative district is a wonderful spot for leaf peeping and even a picnic, if the weather isn't too chilly.
Part of the charm comes from the visual appeal of bricks against the colors of autumn.

It might seem silly, but the brick buildings just look absolutely stunning against the yellows and red hues of fall.
