Lying at the junction of Route 202 and the Delaware River, the town of New Hope is a shopper's paradise!

Small, cozy and picturesque, New Hope overflows with local charm and character. From its boutique and restaurant-lined Main Street, to the colorful side streets, New Hope is a must-stop destination for those visiting Bucks County.

New Hope has much to offer in the way of antique and novelty stores, art galleries, nightlife, historic tours, train rides, romantic boat rides and restaurants. During the height of summer, expect crowds of shoppers and daytrippers and a very happening late-night scene. In the off season, this little hamlet slows its pace a bit, but still retains its charm.

New Hope remained a sleepy village until 1828, when work began on the canal that runs parallel to the Delaware River. By the 1860s, hundreds of boats passed through daily, transporting coal and lumber throughout the county. Barges were pulled along the towpath by mules. The towpath is still in existence today.

On weekends, the town bustles with activity no matter the season. Enjoy river views, waterside dining and excellent people-watching! There's so much to do in New Hope that you just might have to stay the week.
