BerwickBerwick, Pennsylvania
Berwick is a 2-hour stop, not a base: see the Stuart Tank Museum and Jackson Mansion, then move on to Bloomsburg or Lewisburg for the night.
Berwick is a small industrial town on the Susquehanna River, best known for its high school football and the Wise potato chip factory. The main draws are the Stuart Tank Memorial Museum and the Jackson Mansion, both doable in a couple of hours. Most travellers use it as a brief stop on the way to Bloomsburg or the Poconos.

- 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.
