Driving distance honeymoons: Hershey

Only a three and a half hour drive from Pittsburgh, Hershey is a great place to consider for your honeymoon. While you may think of Hershey as a spot for a family trip (hey, Hersheypark can be fun for everyone!), the central Pennsylvania town can perfect spot for a romantic couples getaway.

Outside of the amusement park, zoo and a free tour at Chocolate World, you'll discover plenty in and around Hershey. The Chocolate Spa at the Hotel Hershey offers plenty of relaxing treatments that sound so good you'll want to eat them (cocoa massage anyone?). Nearby Indian Echo Caverns offers a glimpse at the world below the earth's surface. Hershey is a just a short drive to both city life in Harrisburg and Amish life in Lancaster if you want a change of pace.

You can find plenty of hotels in the Hershey area, including the Hershey Lodge and Hotel Hershey, which offer some exclusive benefits to their guests, including free admission to the Hershey Gardens and The Hershey Museum. I've personally stayed at both the lodge and the hotel and think either would make a great place to honeymoon.
