Walking around on the North Side of Bethlehem is truly a fun experience. There is a large variety of small specialty shops, none of the large chain stores, that makes it a nice way to spend a weekend afternoon. One of the best stores, by far, is the Moravian Bookshop. It has a wonderful variety of items for sale, from collectibles to books to homemade baked goods. There are also art stores, jewelry stores, a Celtic store, and many more quaint shops. If you get hungry, don't forget to try Bethlehem Brew Works, a great local restaurant that brews their own beers all year long.
Quick Tips:
Check the local papers for coupons or discounts that are available at many of the shops. This area is a big tourist attraction, so good deals are fairly easy to find. Also, get there early for a chance to get a good parking spot, as sometimes it's crowded and you may have to park a ways away.Best Way To Get Around:
Walking is really the only way around, but luckily you won't be walking long distances. All of the stores and shops are close together in about a 4 block radius, so walking isn't as bad as it might sound.
