However, its major attractions are concentrated in a 5-kilometer radius. Take for instance the First State National Historical Park which is a 13-minute drive (6.3 -miles) from downtown New Castle.
From here, all you need to do is walk to the New Castle Court Museum in less than a minute since both of these attractions are situated on the same (Delaware) Street. This museum properly defines the border between Pennsylvania and Delaware because it sits in the middle of a 12-mile radius.
After a few hours at the museum, an 8-minute drive (3.9-miles) to the Delaware Memorial Bridge. You can only cross the bridge in a vehicle which is why the car rental from New Castle Airport comes in handy. It gives you a spectacular view of the Delaware River and either of New Jersey and Delaware.
The day road trip will take you until U.S. Route 40 and from here you can turn and head over to the New Castle Battery Park which is just a 5-mile (10-minute) drive from the Delaware Memorial Bridge. It is an important landmark which commemorates the political division of Pennsylvania from Delaware.
From here you can head over to the New Castle Range Front Lighthouse which was built in 1876. It is still actively used today and it is one of the reasons why the New Castle region of Delaware is such a popular tourist destination.
