Pennsylvania is full of stunning cities, towns, and landscapes praised by travelers around the world, so to be named the "best must-visit small town" in the entire state is a pretty big deal.

Be it close-knit community feels or bountiful local activities, something about this charming location landed it on Thrillist's list of the best small towns to visit across the country, and today, we're going to discuss why.

Per the list, the best small town to visit in Pennsylvania is Ambler. Ambler houses 6,807 people and is known for its pubs, old buildings and fun seasonal festivals.

Here's what Thrillist had to say about the best must-visit small town in the entire state:

"Old brick buildings, pubs, boutiques, a dance company, painting studio, and a playhouse that puts on spectacular live productions—Ambler has the quintessential small-town Main Street, only better. The Ambler Theater, located in a Spanish Colonial-style building with a hidden gargoyle on the roof, regularly plays old movies and new indie flicks like Citizen Kane and Where the Crawdads Sing. The town’s restaurants are incredible: Forest & Main converted an old house into a microbrewery and The Lucky Well has some of the best barbecue around (I have recurring dreams about its cornbread). You’ll find a delightful community of folks who gather regularly for the summer farmers market, the summertime Ambler Arts & Music Festival, and the Dog Days of Summer (seriously, a giant dog parade).
