Skipping New York while in the USA is like not traveling to Rome when you are in Italy for a vacation. The Big Apple is the place where everything beyond imagination can be found and enjoyed, especially Upstate New York. This north part of the New York metropolitan area consists of cities such as Rochester and Buffalo. While in Rochester, stop by Seneca Park Zoo to delve into an African safari and meet about 90 species of animals. Those with kids should visit The Strong Museum that features a collection of toys and games. If you go to Buffalo, sit back and unwind at Canalside. Then let the beauty of exotic flora at Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens take your breath away. With regards to a place to stay, keep reading to learn about the top luxury Airbnbs in Upstate New York.
