Things to Do in Albany, NY

New York’s state capital has a lot to offer. The city’s most recognizable landmarks are all part of Empire State Plaza, including the New York State Museum, Corning Tower, and The Egg. But there’s more to Albany than its classic tourist destinations—it also has its own beverage trail that encompasses breweries, a cidery, and a distillery. The warehouse district boasts the iconic Nipper statue and the city’s newest and buzziest nightlife hub, so make sure to stay for a meal and grab a drink. If you’re looking to round out your afternoon, there’s no place better for a stroll than the waterfront along the banks of the Hudson River.
