VISITOR INFORMATION
Center City Highlights
Uptown Harrisburg and Riverside
Harrisburg’s dynamic urban hub and foundation to the development of the Greater Harrisburg Metropolitan Area. Comprises the original borough laid out by John Harris, Jr., in 1785. Now the cultural, business, government and entertainment nucleus of the region. Note striking contrasts among historic landmarks and neighborhood with energetic contemporary skyscrapers and urban complexes with the broad neoclassical expanses of the Capitol Complex. Points of interest include (see Center City Sights, a separate brochure available from the City of Harrisburg, for more detail):
