Bus to Easton

Easton sits at the confluence of the Delaware and Lehigh rivers in eastern Pennsylvania, the easternmost of the Lehigh Valley's three cities and the seat of Northampton County. It's a working colonial-era city — Easton's central square hosted one of the first public readings of the Declaration of Independence in July 1776 — with a downtown that has rebuilt steadily over the past two decades around the historic Centre Square, Lafayette College on the hill above downtown and the Crayola Experience. The bus to Easton drops you at the Easton Intermodal Transportation Center on South Third Street, with Centre Square, the Crayola Experience, the Easton Public Market and the Lafayette College campus all reachable on foot or by short rideshare. People come for the Crayola Experience, for Centre Square's restaurants and weekend farmers market, for the Two Rivers Landing district at the river confluence, for Lafayette College, and for the easy access to the wider Lehigh Valley. An Easton bus ticket lands you a short walk from Centre Square.

Greyhound stops in Easton

Easton has two Greyhound stops. The main one is the Easton Intermodal Transportation Center at 123 South Third Street, in the centre of downtown — buses board at the Intermodal Transportation Center, a full terminal that's the right choice for most travellers. The second is the William Penn Park and Ride at 5715 William Penn Highway in nearby Easton/Bethlehem on Route 22, primarily used as a drive-and-park stop.

The South Third Street terminal puts you within a comfortable walk of Centre Square, the Crayola Experience, the Easton Public Market and the central restaurants. As a full terminal there's indoor seating, restrooms and the basic shelter you'd expect; plan to arrive in good time so you can find your platform and get checked in. The William Penn Park and Ride is useful only if your trip ends naturally on the Route 22 corridor — most travellers find the central downtown station more convenient.

If you're being met, the surrounding streets are familiar territory for rideshare drivers and there's space inside the building if the weather isn't cooperating. Have your ticket ready on your phone or printed for boarding.

Getting around Easton after your bus to Easton arrives

Easton's central downtown is exceptionally walkable. From the Intermodal Transportation Center, Centre Square, the Crayola Experience, the Easton Public Market and the central restaurants are all within a short walk. The downtown grid runs west to Lafayette College on the hill above, and east to the rivers and the Two Rivers Landing area at the confluence of the Delaware and the Lehigh.

The Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority — known as LANTA — runs the local public-transport network, with city buses connecting Easton to Bethlehem and Allentown, the other two Lehigh Valley cities. Useful routes connect the central Intermodal Transportation Center to the surrounding suburbs, the malls and the Bethlehem and Allentown city centres. Service runs through the day on weekdays and lighter on weekends. Rideshare runs reliably across the metro and is the realistic option for evening trips.

For the wider Lehigh Valley — Bethlehem's SteelStacks complex, Allentown's PPL Center and the surrounding Pennsylvania farm country — LANTA buses, rideshare and rental cars all work depending on the destination. Cycling is also viable on the Delaware Canal towpath and the Karl Stirner Arts Trail along the Bushkill Creek north of the central downtown. The Crayola Experience and the Easton Public Market are both within walking distance of the bus terminal.

Top things to do in Easton

• The Crayola Experience, on the second floor of the Two Rivers Landing complex on Centre Square, the working Crayola interactive centre with hands-on art-making, the Crayola factory tour, the Crayon Maker Show and Wall of Crayons. Plan a half-day, especially with kids.
• Centre Square, the central historic downtown plaza laid out in 1752 by William Parsons, with the Marquis de Lafayette monument, restaurants, the Saturday morning farmers market and a steady year-round commercial life.
• The Easton Public Market, on Northampton Street, the year-round indoor market with food vendors, prepared food, butchers, bakers and a weekend brunch crowd. The central downtown's culinary anchor.
• The Bachmann Publick House Museum, the restored 1753 stone tavern on Centre Square, with strong exhibits on colonial-era Easton and the working tavern history.
• The National Canal Museum at Two Rivers Landing, with strong galleries on the Delaware and Lehigh canal systems, the early industrial history of the region and a working canal-boat ride from the Hugh Moore Park in season.
• The Karl Stirner Arts Trail, the converted rail-trail along the Bushkill Creek with installed sculptures, walking and cycling and a strong run of weekend visitors.
• Lafayette College, on the hill above downtown, with the central Quad, the Pardee Hall and the Williams Center for the Arts. The campus is open for visits and the long view over the Delaware Valley from the upper campus is one of the city's better vantages.
• The Williams Center for the Arts at Lafayette, with concerts, theatre and rotating exhibitions in a working campus venue.
• Hugh Moore Park, on the Lehigh Canal south of the city, with the Lehigh Canal Boat Ride pulled by mules in the warmer months, walking trails along the canal and a small interpretive centre.
• The State Theatre Center for the Arts, the restored 1926 movie palace on Northampton Street, with touring concerts, classic film screenings and the Easton's working performing-arts venue.
• Riverside Park, at the confluence of the Delaware and the Lehigh, with picnic areas, walking paths along the river and views across to New Jersey.
• The Northampton County Courthouse, the central historic courthouse on the southwest corner of Centre Square, recently restored and worth a walk around.
• The Sigal Museum on Northampton Street, the Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society's museum, with strong galleries on the regional history of the Lehigh Valley.

Best time to visit Easton

Late spring through early autumn is the long, comfortable window. From late March through May the cherry blossoms come in along Northampton Street and the Karl Stirner Arts Trail opens up to a full season, the Centre Square farmers market begins its weekly run, and the temperature sits in a pleasant range for walking. October and November bring the Pennsylvania fall — colour through the river bluffs and the Lafayette College campus, comfortable walking weather and the Lafayette football season opening at Fisher Stadium.

Summer is warm and humid, with afternoons regularly in the 80s and into the 90s. The Karl Stirner Arts Trail and Hugh Moore Park provide tree-shaded relief, and the long evenings stretch out late along Centre Square. Plan walking and outdoor sightseeing for early morning, lean into the air-conditioned Crayola Experience and Easton Public Market in the afternoon, and respect the late-day thunderstorms when they roll in.

Winter is real Pennsylvania cold. From December through February temperatures regularly drop into the 20s and below, with occasional cold snaps and snow events. The Crayola Experience, the Easton Public Market, the State Theatre and the long-running Centre Square restaurants all stay full pace, and the central downtown decorated for the December holiday markets is a particular pleasure. Spring is variable but bright; April brings the first cherry blossoms along Northampton Street and the run-up to the spring outdoor calendar.

The confluence of the Delaware and the Lehigh from Riverside Park as the day softens, the Free Bridge over to New Jersey catching the last of the western light and the Karl Stirner Arts Trail's sculptures throwing long shadows along the Bushkill, hands you Easton the way a working colonial-era Pennsylvania river town wants to be read. A canoe drifts downstream past Larry Holmes Drive, the old industrial brick of the riverfront catches a slow rosy glow, and the smell of frying from a restaurant on Northampton Street drifts across the park.
