Major city · United States
MillersburgMillersburg, Ohio
Stay 1–2 nights: Millersburg is a base for Amish-country back roads, not a sight list. Book a bed before you come — the county fills on fall weekends.
Millersburg is the county seat of Holmes County, about midway between Cleveland and Columbus, in the largest Amish settlement in the world. Nearly half the county's 44,000 people are Amish, and the draw is the countryside itself: farm stands, craft workshops, cheese houses and quiet roads shared with horse-drawn buggies. One night covers the town and a loop; two nights let you add Berlin, Kidron and Wooster without rushing. Costs are low by US standards, the area is safe, and the main risk is a car meeting a buggy on a blind hill.

- North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
- North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
- North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
- United States ↗Check whether you need an ESTA (Visa Waiver Program) or a visa on the official CBP and State Department sites; apply only through esta.cbp.dhs.gov, not third-party sites, and allow time before you book.
- United States ↗Several popular national parks use timed-entry or vehicle reservations in peak season; check each park's page on nps.gov and book on recreation.gov before fixing your dates.
- United States ↗Medical care is very expensive for visitors; buy travel insurance with high medical cover before you fly.
- United States ↗Tipping is expected: about 15–20% at sit-down restaurants and bars, and a tip for taxis, hotel staff and guides.

Getting around
You need a car. US-62, SR-39 and SR-83 meet at Millersburg, and the sights are spread across the county on two-lane roads. The Holmes County Trail is a paved rail-trail for bikes and walkers, running south along Killbuck Creek to Killbuck and north to Holmesville and Fredericksburg. There is no useful local bus network for visitors.

Where to sleep
Areas, not hotels: pick the one that fits your arrival time and plans.
Downtown Millersburg (Jackson Street)
Walk to the courthouse square, the pewter workshop, the brewery and two pubs; best for one night without a car.
Glen Drive / SR-39 strip
Chain motel and the public library; free parking, 5 min drive to the square.
County-road inns and B&Bs
Barn conversions and lodge-style inns on 20–60 acre plots; you need a car, and you wake up in the countryside.
Berlin and Walnut Creek
15–20 min east; more shops, more lodging, more traffic — pick it if shopping is the point of the trip.
