Tucked into Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Lititz blends Swiss and German influences with its charming historic district, cobblestone alleys, and traditional bakeries. Founded by Moravians in the 1700s, the town exudes an old-world feel, with European-style timbered buildings, antique shops, and the scent of freshly baked pretzels wafting through the air. The town's Lititz Springs Park, with its winding stream and stone bridges, looks like it belongs in the Swiss countryside. If you love Swiss towns but want to stay stateside, Lititz will whisk you away with its cozy, picturesque atmosphere.
