Average score for buses from Harrisburg to Baltimore
(Based on 3 ratings and reviews)
5.0
Pros: The ride was comfortable for the reasonable price. Cons: The staff at the station should always be in there or have a bell to get their attention. I almost missed the ride waiting for someone to answer me. And a passenger who had communication issues, could not get a phone to use with the driver. Drivers should be equipped to help in such situations.

History fans should also consider visiting the State Museum of Pennsylvania, which follows the history of the state from the beginning of time to this day. Another must-see destination is the National Civil War Museum, which is one of the largest museums dedicated to the Civil War. If too many history lessons stress you out, a cruise along the Susquehanna River on the Pride of the Susquehanna Riverboat will definitely help you unwind.
