While New York City may be the most frequented, New York State has much more to offer than the flashing lights of Time Square. Outside of the hustle and bustle of America’s most European city you need only drive for about an hour to see the water rush up against the shores of Long Island. There is also the option of escaping for a weekend in the Catskills for everything from fishing to snowboarding.

Discover even more of this historically rich state as you take a scenic drive along the Hudson to the capital city of Albany. Outside of the Upstate area, visitors may also want to visit the center of the state and check out the Adirondack region; this mountainous area is adored by those who love outdoor adventures like horseback riding, hiking, as well as skiing.

One of the more famous attractions of New York sits on the borders of neighboring Canada. Niagra Falls sits sandwiched between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful sites to be explored. Finger Lakes is another spot to check out for nature lovers; although it’s only about 200 miles from the heart of NYC, you’d never know it after seeing the fertile green landscape and luxurious lakes where some of truly phenomenal wineries make their home.
