Take time to explore the city’s historic Armory Square, where beautifully restored buildings are home to independent boutiques, art galleries and an excellent selection of cafés and restaurants – the perfect place to stretch your legs before continuing your journey.
Spend the next two nights discovering everything Rochester has to offer. Rich in history, culture and innovation, the city is home to world-class museums, beautiful parks and a thriving arts and music scene. Visit the former home of pioneering suffragist Susan B. Anthony, explore the renowned George Eastman Museum, or sample Rochester’s famous “White Hot” hot dog. Outdoor enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy, from scenic walking and cycling trails to peaceful waterways and more than 12,000 acres of parkland, making Rochester an ideal base for relaxation and exploration.
Today, enjoy a scenic drive west to Buffalo, New York’s vibrant waterfront city and your base for the next two nights. With its revitalised waterfront, impressive architecture, thriving food scene and rich history, Buffalo is the perfect gateway to one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders.
During your stay, visit the breathtaking Niagara Falls (USA), just a short drive away. Marvel at the thundering falls from the viewing platforms, experience the unforgettable Maid of the Mist boat cruise (seasonal), or get up close on the Cave of the Winds experience. Back in Buffalo, explore the lively Canalside district or sample the city’s world-famous Buffalo wings, making this the perfect finale to your Upstate New York adventure before returning to New York City.
Today, return your rental car at Buffalo Airport before boarding your short flight to New York City. On arrival, make your own way to your luxury hotel overlooking Central Park, where you’ll spend the next three nights.
The rest of the day is yours to begin exploring the city that never sleeps.
