Resting an hour and a half north of Philadelphia, Bethlehem is located in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, steeped in rich industrial and colonial history. It’s endured a revitalization over the years, but its surge in popularity hasn’t hampered its old-city charm. While Bethlehem may be under 20 square miles, there is a ton to discover. Experience the city’s beginnings in the historic downtown district, which houses several museums and landmarks. Spend a day learning about mills, wash house, and other structures in the Colonial Industrial Quarter, or the town’s role in the steel industry at the National Museum of Industrial History. After your history lesson, visit some of the specialty shops, galleries, and local eateries in the downtown area.
If you’re an art lover, you’ll fit right in because this quaint town is home to a vibrant visual and performing arts scene, with several spaces dedicated to artistic expression. The Banana Factory Arts and Education Center is a former banana warehouse turned arts center that houses exhibitions, classrooms, and studios. Steelstacks along the Lehigh River is an absolute must-see and local favorite. Located on the former plant of Bethlehem Steel, the second largest manufacturer in the United States, this 10-acre campus has been dedicated to culture, arts, music, and community celebrations. Steelstacks hosts over 1,000 concerts and eight festivals annually alongside towering blast furnaces used to make iron for decades.
Along with a colorful arts scene, Bethlehem is the perfect location for those attending class or work at one of the area’s three colleges: Lehigh University, Mountaintop, and Murray H. Goodman Campus. The airport is just a few minutes out from Bethlehem, and the area’s walkability to the colleges make it the ideal location for students, staff, and professors to live. Outdoor enthusiasts residing here will find plenty of hiking, biking, and walking trails among the town’s various parks as well. With all of these wonderful amenities and more, Bethlehem boasts a charming, old-fashioned yet modern vibe perfect for your next apartment or house.
