Major city · United States

Easton, PennsylvaniaEaston

Give Easton one full day plus a night: downtown Centre Square, the Crayola Experience and the canal museum in 4–6 h, then use it as a Lehigh Valley base.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Easton is the smallest of the Lehigh Valley's three cities, sitting where the Delaware and Lehigh rivers meet, about 72 mi (116 km) west of New York City and 77 mi (124 km) north of Philadelphia. Downtown is compact and walkable; the draw is a cluster of family sights, a historic square and riverfront trails. Most travellers see it in a day, or sleep here and day-trip to Bethlehem and Allentown.

  • 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

Downtown Easton is walkable: Centre Square to the riverfront is about 10 min on foot. LANTA runs local buses across the Lehigh Valley, but frequencies are low and a car is far more practical for the museums, malls and day trips. Taxis and rideshare work but are thin late at night.

Watch out

Safety

Downtown Easton is fine by day and busy on weekend nights; the main issues are petty theft after dark away from Centre Square and winter driving on ice. Standard US city precautions apply.
  • Winter black ice is a real driving hazard on hills and bridges, even without fresh snow.
  • All major Delaware River bridges into New Jersey are free eastbound but tolled westbound; the free Northampton Street bridge is easy to miss.
  • You must dial the area code (610 or 484) on every local call.
  • Some downtown bars and pubs permit smoking indoors; check before you sit.
