Buffalo

What You Need to Know Before You Go

Buffalo is a reminder there’s more to New York State than the Big Apple itself. Here, you can relax by the shores of Lake Erie, in Buffalo Harbor State Park, which offers views across the waters as well as its very own beach. In the mood for something cultural? Try Albright-Knox Art Gallery, which features works by giants like Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol.

The whole family will have a mind-expanding time at the Buffalo Museum of Science. And no visit would be complete without tucking into the delicious local snack known as the “beef on weck” sandwich.

  • 10 Best Things to Do in Buffalo, New York

    Buffalo is a laidback city on the shores of Lake Erie with an unorthodox art scene and gorgeous Art Deco architecture. The city boomed during the 19th century as a key part of the Great Lakes shipping industry, but today the warehouses and silos have been repurposed as craft breweries, cosy taverns and contemporary art galleries.

    With its revitalised waterfront and extensive park system, Buffalo offers plenty of outdoor activities for the adventurous. And in spite of being the 2nd biggest city in the States, there's definitely a friendly, small-town feel here. Ready to explore Queen City?
