Private tour in New York

Tour Price : $700 Duration : 10 hours Languages: English

There are many places in this country that aren’t as widely advertised as some of the most famous cities, but this doesn’t mean that you won’t find anything interesting in them. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is a fine example of such a hidden American treasure, and when you’ll come to this small town you will understand why it is considered as a really fascinating place to visit.

The main landmark in the capital of Pennsylvania is the Capitol, which was built more than a hundred years ago. The grandeur of this structure makes the Washington federal Capitol look a bit pale in comparison, as the Renaissance style of the exterior and the rich details in the interior create a really breathtaking sensation. The surrounding plaza of the Capitol adds up to the feeling of immense power created by this building. It is a very good example of classic governmental architecture that is able to inspire and make the people respect the law of the country they live in.

On the drive back from Harrisburg to New York, you will also have the chance to visit a Hindu temple, which creates a perfect contrast to Western architecture enjoyed previously during the day. The United States is a country with very rich and diverse culture, and this temple will show you one of the many sides of modern American culture.
