Step away from the rush of modern life and immerse yourself in a simpler, slower-paced way of life on this unique day trip from Philadelphia. As you journey through Lancaster County’s rolling farmlands, you’ll witness horse-drawn buggies share the road with cars, a tangible sign of the community’s dedication to tradition. A visit to the Amish Village Museum provides deeper insights into the daily life and beliefs of the Amish—from their meticulous craftsmanship to their intentional rejection of modern conveniences. You’ll also have the chance to shop for handmade quilts, enjoy homemade pies, and perhaps even chat with a local farmer as they tend to their fields.

Experience the splendour of this World Heritage listed rainforest, this is the oldest tropical rainforest and a home to diverse and unique animals, plants and fungi. At around 1,200 square kilometres the Daintree is the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest on the Australian continent. A beautiful place for birdwatching and swimming, suntanning on calm beaches. Enjoy the wonder of nature while finding inner peace.

Rittenhouse Square is a local favorite for relaxation amongst the reflecting pool, balustrade, classically designed urns, and ornamental lampposts. Grand oaks, maples, locusts, and other trees provide tranquil shade, while the flowerbeds are ablaze with color. Flower markets and art exhibits are held annually, and the nighttime brings many to the restaurants, bars, and clubs located along the square.

There are two waterfalls in the vicinity of Nha Trang, both of which make for excellent excursions into nature. Ba Ho Falls, at a distance of roughly 30km north of central Nha Trang, are the falls that attract most visitors. You will need a ride to reach the entrance to the natural area (get a taxi or Grab). Bring swimwear, sturdy shoes (not flip-flops), and your own water. Note that water volumes may vary dramatically depending on whether you visit during or outside the dry season (January through August). Another option is Fairy Spring Waterfalls (Suối Tiên), mostly favoured by local youth. These are much smaller compared to Ba Ho, but there is still an opening fit for swimming. There is a small admission fee to visit both falls.
