Lititz is a lovely Lancaster County borough that has been named as one of America's coolest small towns by Budget Travel. The town, which was founded by Moravian settlers in 1749, was Pennsylvania's first city to establish an historic district, which now preserves many 18th and 19th-century homes and businesses. Visitors can explore the quaint art galleries, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants in the city's Broad and Main Street district or relax in luxury at historic bed and breakfasts like the Alden House B&B or the General Sutter Inn. The city is also home to the nation's oldest commercial pretzel bakery, Julius Sturgis Pretzels Bakery, and the historic 1894 Wilbur Chocolate Company. Annual special events include one of the nation's oldest and largest Independence Day celebrations, held each year on the Fourth of July since 1813. Lancaster is 1 hr 45 min (81.3 miles via US-1 S) from Philadelphia.
