Make the Most of Your Scranton Stay

Cultural heritage and architecture

Scranton earned its nickname "The Electric City" in 1886 as the first American city to operate electric streetcars, and that innovative spirit still shapes the downtown landscape. The skyline showcases turn-of-the-century grandeur through buildings like the Neo-Classical Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel and the Beaux-Arts Scranton Electric Building. This former anthracite capital has transformed its industrial legacy into compelling attractions, including Steamtown National Historic Site's working railroad roundhouse and the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour, where you descend 300 feet underground to experience authentic mining tunnels.

Dining and downtown revival

The city's culinary scene reflects its evolution, with establishments like A'tera 519 offering Continental cuisine and Casa Bella serving Northern Italian fare. Downtown's monthly First Friday art walk brings galleries and businesses to life with local musicians and artists. The Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple, a Neo-Gothic and Art Deco venue, hosts Broadway tours and concerts while serving as an event space for corporate gatherings.

Practical considerations

Business travelers will find Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport 7 miles south provides direct connections to major hubs. While the COLTS bus system serves the area, rental cars or rideshares offer greater flexibility for professional schedules. Scranton's location positions you within reach of Ricketts Glen, Victorian Jim Thorpe, and New York City for extended stays.
