New York

From the metropolis of New York City to Niagara Falls, combining a world-class city with the Hudson Valley and the Adirondack wilds.

New York State lies in the northeastern United States. New York City, at its southern tip, is a world-famous metropolis with the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Broadway and numerous museums. The rest of the state is mostly natural scenery: the Hudson Valley has historic estates and artsy towns, the Adirondacks and Catskills are good for hiking and summer escapes, the Finger Lakes region is known for its wineries, and Niagara Falls sits on the Canadian border in the west. Spring and fall are best, with fall especially good for foliage. The main gateways are New York's JFK and LaGuardia airports, as well as airports in places like Buffalo.
