Visiting during the holidays? Only 15 minutes from downtown Allentown, the Bethlehem Historic District is like stepping back in time. Known as Christmas City, USA, it’s especially magical during the holidays, with festive lights, colonial stone buildings and centuries of Moravian history to explore.
