Places to visit in Lancaster city :
I know lancaster seems far to travel for pain management but hear me out.
I’ve made this post to show case 3 different ways you can get here using a car or public trans. You can use your travel day as a self care day, grocery shopping day, and adventure day all in one!
I am also offering a discount, $20 off any session to my Philadelphia clients that come out and visit me. I hope you can see why I fell in love with Lancaster and will still book with me so I can get some philly love in Lanc. To redeem just add $20 off in the notes section when booking, or let me know when you arrive.
Come visit us in Lancaster City
Taking the train to Lancaster for a massage
You can head over to 30th street station and take the Harrisburg train to Lancaster City. From there you have a few options
- Take an uber or lyft to Tranquil Therapy Lancaster
- Take the route 6 bus to Walnut & Prince street, we are a quick walk from that stop
- Or take a 25 minute walk! Explore the shops and food that Lancaster has to offer.
I enjoy the train because I can read that book I keep putting off, listen to my favorite podcast, put on some music and write, or even sleep. There’s a lot you can do when you’re not driving so take advantage! Working is always an option if needed and it’s a nice quiet place to do so. Our massage in lanc. city location is only a 25 minute walk leaving so much room for exploring!
Driving to Lancaster for a massage
But the way you take will change your experience. Always use gps when navigating to our massage studio in lancaster until you are confident in where you are going.
- You can take 76 the whole way up.
There is a toll and you don’t get to see the shops, the Amish stands, or farmers markets this way. This is the fastest way at around 70-80 minutes from fishtown.
- Skip the tolls and take 76, to 202, and then take Rt. 30 the rest of the way.
This is my favorite and the way I drive on my weekly commute. You can explore numerous shops, markets, and even drive past the outlets. Plan your day to shop or just buy some essentials. This takes a little longer and clocks in at around 90 minutes.
