PA makes day-tripping easy. Then, again, we have so many potential day trip destinations that whittling them down to one can be quite challenging. If you’re on the hunt for a relaxing way to spend a day, journey to this tiny Amish town in Pennsylvania. There, you’ll get a glimpse of Amish life on an authentic buggy tour before exploring the rest of the town that draws tourists from all over the country.

Nestled in Lancaster County, Intercourse is home to just over 1,270 residents, including a large Amish population.
