6 days in Gettysburg Itinerary

Located near the memorial park marking the site of one of the largest Civil War battles, the town of Gettysburg sits in a landscape of rolling green hills with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance.

Change things up with these side-trips from Gettysburg: Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races (in Charles Town), Harpers Ferry (The Point, Appalachian National Scenic Trail, &more) and Zoe's Chocolate Co. (in Waynesboro). And it doesn't end there: stroll around Gettysburg National Military Park, go on a hair-raising tour with a ghost and vampire tour, trot along with a tour on horseback, and steep yourself in history at Eisenhower National Historic Site.

To see photos, ratings, where to stay, and tourist information, refer to the Gettysburg trip planning app.

Expect a daytime high around 84°F in July, and nighttime lows around 66°F. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 30th (Thu) so you can travel back home.
