Erie is a lovely northwestern Pennsylvania set on the banks of the Great Lake of the same name, located just two hours north of Pittsburgh's downtown. The charming city, which is commonly known as the "Gem City," is home to the expansive shorelines of Presque Isle State Park, which curves for more than 3,200 acres around Presque Isle Bay and offers opportunities for fishing, canoeing, scuba diving, and biking. The Erie Maritime Museum preserves the 19th-century US Brig Niagara ship alongside exhibits tracing the geology and maritime history of Lake Erie, while the Erie Art Museum focuses on the works of 20th-century artists. Waldameer Amusement Park and Water World is home to thrilling rides and attractions like the acclaimed wooden roller coaster Ravine Flyer II. After a long day on the beach or at the park, couples can enjoy delicious brews at area breweries like the Erie Brewing Company, Voodoo Brewing Company, and the Brewery at Union Station.
