7 days in Princeton Itinerary

Best known as the home of Princeton University, the town of Princeton centers around the Ivy League school and its stone, vine-covered buildings.

Escape the urban bustle at Sourland Mountain Preserve and Resica Falls. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Princeton Battlefield State Park and Princeton Cemetery. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Princeton: Long Branch (Escape The Puzzle & Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park), Twin Lights Historic Site (in Highlands) and Worthington State Forest (in Columbia). And it doesn't end there: capture your vacation like a pro with Princeton Photo Workshop, steep yourself in history at Pennsbury Manor, don't miss a visit to Nassau Hall, and explore the activities along Carnegie Lake.
