- If you're like me, when you think of Pennsylvania, what cities come to mind? For me, it's always been Philadelphia & Pittsburgh. Well, a new city has climbed my rankings of one of the nicest cities I've visited and is most definitely right up at the top in the State of Pennsylvania! Harrisburg is a city of endless architectural beauty and it's location along the gorgeous Susquehanna River make this place a definite hidden gem!

It's so beautifull, I'am from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro and I love this town, i love all PA!!!!!!!!
PA is a dump. Of all the states its the worst.
There's beauty in everything in every place.
I live in California now but spent many years growing up in central PA. Harrisburg is just a sad little city in the middle of backwards Pennsylvania. Good memories growing up out there but it's pretty much just a depressed little city about 30 years behind the times. Everytime I fly back, it's like stepping into a time warp.
Jay P Boomer, ok
I know keep wondering why are these living like this. PA is the most beat down dirty state.
I love this city, i wish i can go back. Beautiful place to live..
@@Ju-ei6zf yes i prefer Harrisburg pa. than new york City..
I took a walk out to City Island when I was filming for this video....I'd love to come back this summer and catch game!...overall, such an impressive city!!
Beautiful and wonderful historical city. May Harrisburg come alive again.
Hi all, I lived in Harrisburg between 1999 and 2002, I recall with great pleasure as it was my life during that time, and certainly is a beautiful city, thanks for uploading this video, I was filled with many memories.
It's surely a wonderful place! :)
Wonderful video!! I love PA! If anyone looking for a good hotel in Harrisburg, we have it here czcams.com/video/C3PPHiZdtyY/video.html. It is near to most of the attractions in Harrisburg. Have a great stay!
MY HOME TOWN
Hello, everyone, I lived in Harrisburg from 2000 to 2004, and I remember that even though sometimes you find, with difficult and racist people, the majority of its people are very friendly people, I lived opposite the east mall , and had a magnificent neighbors. I still remember in my mind to a beautiful place.
Pennsylvania has the best cities in America. We have historic, urban small cities like Harrisburg, York, Erie, etc., that offer big city amenities. We have Pittsburgh, which is one of the best mid-size cities, and we have Philly which is one of the great American cities.
You should see Harrisburg in the snow. It's so pretty
Beautiful city!
Harrisburg is a nice city.True there are some parts that are rough,but all in all,the city is a very nice place.Lots to do in the downtown area.
hopefully I was able to help bring a little bit of attention to this cool little city by making this video...it's definitely an underrated place!!
I appreciate this video. I love Harrisburg, beautiful buildings, and there is an emerging art scene here to enjoy, if you look. I moved to PA from San Francisco over 2 years ago, my husband and I love Harrisburg and so many people in PA hate on it. Every city has crime and violence, welcome to humanity, but finding the beauty is easy. Thank you for the video. Some great murals to find around the city too!
I'm live in Harrisburg!
I'm from Harrisburg or better known as HBG, and it's really not that unsafe compared to Philly, Baltimore, DC, or Pitt. Yes the city is really boring and not what I would call a city but wow I can't believe so many people think it's so crime infested. Really the city is quite quiet compared to those I listed above. If you are afraid of HBG you should just stay at home this place is really not a dangerous place and the only time you should worry is if you are apart of the crime and drugs. Otherwise as a normal citizen I have not encountered too much crime.
Thank you for watching and for your kind words :) Harrisburg is truly a beautiful city and I can absolutely see how you view it so fondly!
i love my city always
Would have been nice to see more than just State Street and the Capitol complex.
Drove thru there en route to NY - One of the grimmest looking places I've ever seen
I have a question: When you live in Penbrook, Susquehanna, Lower Paxton, Paxtonia, etc....this is not Harrisburg???
Marvelous! It makes to come desire to live there, I remain there in my dreams... a smile and a thought from distant Italy * * * * *
(pardon for the errors, has used the translator)
Stella
The world's most beautiful city!
Christian Watson really ? Have you been to LA before ?
Also Scranton is wonderful
I lived in Harrisburg PA I really never had a problem there
I miss home ahhhh
Thanks for visiting our town. Like all cities, it has its faults. But there is great beauty (as seen in your video) and much spirit in its citizens. Please come back soon. Ride the riverboat, visit the historic John Harris-Simon Cameron Mansion, and enjoy a good meal downtown. Thanks for your nice words about Harrisburg.
Thank you for your kind words. :-) I have really enjoyed my visits to Harrisburg and plan to visit again very soon. There is good and bad in every location I travel to, but I really do try to make a point to point out the positives of each place I visit and this was very easy to do in this video, because Harrisburg is such a beautiful city!

Let me know when you come again. Perhaps there are some places I can show you that you might not know about!
Why was this shot in the winter when the trees are barren? It really is beautiful in Spring, Summer and Fall.
It just happened to be when I visited Harrisburg for the first time. I think I do need to head back in spring or summer to film a Part II :-) Thank you for watching!
2009grifin1 the winter season made me think I was looking at Philadelphia. I guess American architecture is the same
I think you might be right! :)
great video, have to come during the summer and spend the day in the city then catch a baseball game on city island.
@skaterguyforever Thank you so much skaterguy! I stopped at a diner right downtown and was talking to some people there who were telling me the summer vibe in Harrisburg rivals that of much bigger cities. It doesn't surprise me that you mention they have music fest....I'll have to come back this summer for sure!
@IntoWisOutdoors Thank you! I love all of these walk-able little cities like Harrisburg, where you can really take it all in within a couple of hours. I always see signs for Hersey, PA as I'm driving through, but I've yet to ever stop. I'm going to check out your video to see the ride. Hersey sounds like an incredibly yummy place!! LOL!!
I agree that Pennsylvania has the most variety of cities and towns from all ends of the spectrum! Between its rolling hills in places like Bedford County to the beautiful cities you mention, PA has it all! It's a wonderful place to travel to and through!
Harrisburg is a small town with a big city feel.
Fairfaxcat more like a small city with a medium city feel. ☺
Don't tour there alone, and never walk there alone--- anywhere in Harrisburg, and anytime day or night. Keep your car locked, your money, wallet, jewelry, and electronic property concealed if you want to keep them. And, my advice is to stay out of the Hill and the abandoned areas all over Harrisburg. There's a reason why there isn't enough tourist revenue coming in--- and there is a reason why people are moving away--- and it isn't because Harrisburg is safe. It's anything but safe and crime free. And, it is a city in monetary deadlock--- not "The City on the Move" as it is touted in advertisement signs nor on the levels of crime and degradation and personal hardship from being almost continuously robbed and attacked I experienced there for 17-1/2 years as a former Hbg citizen. Not hating on Harrisburg or it's people--- truth is truth, like it or not. Unsafe is unsafe, plain and simple. Got nothing to do with who's what ethnicity, so let's be real here.
The HolyShitFiles that’s not very true... I walk around the city all the time and have no issue...I lived there all my life and if you wanna know a bad city, come to south central LA and see if you can walk a couple blocks. Harrisburg is only bad in black hood areas ( let’s be honest ) it’s kinda segregated to.. White people move over to the east shore and they kept the blacks on the west shore... the west shore has a a lot of beautiful areas and you’ll feel comfortable being around other cultures. Usually people that say stuff like this are from the east shore and have never been around minority’s so they’re scared of what they don’t know. Scared do to there lack of knowledge and life experiences, so they go by what people tell them then usually they’re very uneducated
I honestly have no clue what you're talking about. I've been living here for a long time now. I go to a school right next to the capital and there are like, five police stations. I have never experienced or witnessed a crime in my time living here. Now, I'm not saying there isn't crime here, I'm sure there is. But I go into this shady garage all the time to get picked up. and the worst that's happened there was some dudes smoking weed and a couple of guys asking me for money.
You are correct sir. The garbage is infiltrating the west shore. Kept having demonic experiences for two years with criminals on both sides of my home, as well as criminals all over Mechanicsburg borough. BoRough police are very CORRUPT. FINALLY God gave us a new home outside the borough and much of that activity has stopped attacking my husband and me. ALL PRAISE TO JESUS CHRIST.
@@stickerlady1774 I'm considering moving to Harrisburg in a few months from Atlanta. The demonic possessions is horrendous here. Just trying to see if Harrisburg a great place to raise a child.
Jesus is King My father-in-law hated driving through Atlanta said it felt very dark and wicked. I didn’t understand what he meant because we never drove through there (we drove through Athens). Can you elaborate? I would say the Harrisburg suburbs are good for children. I personally would stay out of the borough, unless perhaps you can afford the less sketchy areas. Housing is mostly overpriced but still relatively affordable where you can buy your own home. Schools are pretty good. I would say the people here are stuck up. It’s the type of area where people stay for generations, breed, and never leave. Those who move away for good are either military, wild child, or genuinely hate their parents. Weather is moderate for all four seasons and isn’t hit with a lot of natural disasters. Gas and real estate taxes are very high but no clothing tax. There is a religious wealthy ‘megachurch’ false spirit here and took me YEARS to find a biblical church and that is a long story. The true believers are like needle in a haystack. Lots of female narcissists here. Beware if you are a single man. Beware if you are female looking for friendship. The men are shady but women will hug you and stab your back. Lyme disease is spread here so get treated right away. Lots of youth are drug and alcohol users and partying, even ones in so-called church youth groups. Totally ridiculous yet no-one cares. I think a lot of teenagers are shady and need taught discipline morals and respect. They especially need to be saved by God.
Bless you and hit me up for mo’ questions...
Hey there, I'm working on a project and need a few seconds of footage from downtown harrisburg and was wondering if I could use some of this. It's a documentary and not for profit. Just looking to save myself a drive. You would be credited of course.
Let me know,
Thanks,Dan
@MacavisionStudio Thanks! I actually live in Chicago, but I do a ton of traveling for work. So when I find myself in an interesting area, I pull out the camera and start filming! btw, your Harrisburg video is awesome!!
PA is truly a great state!
@alaricdogface Thank you very much! Harrisburg really surprised me in a good way. It really is a beautiful town.
What river follows thru the city off Harrisburg
The Susquehanna River
✌🏽✌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🏿
@Mrpeace4ualll Thank you! :)
Pennsylvania has the best state capitol building.
Many of the parents in Harrisburg ignore traffic laws with their kids. Many of these parents are civil servants. Youth in Pennsylvania deserve law-abiding, ethical and conscientious civil servants. Their future depends upon it. What do you think? Should traffic fines be doubled in capital cities? Imagine law-abiding streets and adults in Harrisburg! Imagine!!!
Kids, if your parents ignore traffic laws, pray out loud before every family meal, "Lord, help my parents obey traffic laws, I love them."
Martin Kent you sound like a very old person.. these are your problems now because you have nothing else to live for or think about.....this is not a major problem...easy fix = start giving out tickets to people who deserve them. That’s all you can do
legal
Harrisburg is bankrupt
If you would had said some shit like that around me you would've got killed
