For anyone wanting to squeeze the most out of the cooler September weather, Valley Forge and Montgomery County are the perfect choice for a weekend stay, writes Philadelphia Magazine.

The area offers the perfect combination of dining, exploration, and shopping. To start the trip, visitors can grab a delicious donut and a cup of coffee at Duck Donuts in King of Prussia. To walk off the calories and enjoy beautiful scenery, a walk along Valley Creek Trail is ideal.

For traveling gourmands there are also excellent restaurants such as Caruso’s Brick Oven Trattoria for a hearty Italian meal and Cantina Laredo which offer a modern spin on Mexican cuisine.

Meanwhile for shopping, King of Prussia Mall is a must. With over 400 shops, it is literally a “shopping mecca“. However, if you want something different, check out some of the many unique stores throughout the County.

Once the day is over, there are over 70 overnight options to choose from, including Valley Forge Casino Resort. Quieter options include Normandy Farm, a beautifully restored American landmark.

Whatever you choose, Montgomery County has become the destination of choice for discerning visitors.
