As the capital of New York, Albany is a vibrant city known for its art scene and outdoor areas with exciting recreational opportunities. If you're planning a trip to the city, discover the variety of activities and attractions you can enjoy.
Perhaps the most popular attraction in Albany is the beautiful Empire State Plaza. This complex houses several government buildings, the New York State Museum, three reflecting pools, a convention center, a performing arts venue, at least 15 memorials and an underground city that offers a quarter-mile stretch of cafeterias, shops and a unique art collection.
Another popular destination in the city is Washington Park. Along with being the premier park for gatherings and festivals in Albany, it's also a place where you can enjoy plenty of activities throughout the year. In the summer, have some fun on the bike paths, basketball courts and tennis courts. In the winter, go for a skate when the lake freezes over.
When you're looking for a place to stay in Albany, you'll find plenty of hotel options. To stay in the heart of the action, consider one of several hotels in the downtown area that will fit a variety of budgets. If you're searching for something more relaxed, check out one of the hotels on the outskirts of the city.
If you want to fly to Albany for your visit, Albany International Airport is 8 miles northwest of the city. If you'd rather drive there, interstates 90, 87 and 787 all run through the area.
