Harrisburg is the capital of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The city graces the east bank of the majestic Susquehanna River—the largest river lying entirely within the United States that drains into the Atlantic Ocean—in the south central part of the state. Harrisburg was once a quaint riverbank outpost but has blossomed into a picturesque metropolis. Within this fine city, you will find art and culture, sports and entertainment, restaurants offering some of the world's finest cuisine, charming boutiques and modern shopping malls, and nearly 691,000 warm, caring residents who take pride in their community.
