Buffalo attractions are not for those seeking a mini-Manhattan. Although once a thriving and wealthy city of industrialists, Buffalo today has come into its new and more working class trappings. But the most popular attractions here give glimpses of the prosperity that once was. One of our favorites is Graycliff, a home built for an industrialist by Frank Lloyd Wright. The design, setting and views are stunning. Another great historic spot is the Theodore Roosevelt National Historic Sight, the mansion and library where Roosevelt was sworn in after McKinley's assassination. Or, take the family to the Toy Town Museum, and see and play with some historical Fisher Price toys. Or for you car buffs, checkout the Pierce-Arrow car museum to see the one-time automobiles of presidents and kings. And, our favorite of all attractions here, check out the fantastic Allbright-Knox Art Gallery. Grandeur that was and can now be glimpsed is waiting for you at Buffalo attractions....click here for a list of Buffalo Attractions.

Buffalo restaurants will be one of the highlights of your vacation, and we're not just talking about the infamous Buffalo wings. Not many people expect the incredible quantity and quality of dining options this city has to offer, but offer them it does. Downtown has really raised the bar with numerous upscale and ethnic restaurants to enjoy. Strolling any of these streets will take you to the door of unexpected epicurean delights. Allentown is another hot spot for great dining; ethnic eateries here are real treats. But be sure and find the tried and true restaurants that the locals can't do without. Try the Towne Restaurant, Bob Ogden's, and Rue Franklin. Any of these will give you a taste of why this city loves to eat out. But whatever your favorite cuisine, or your wallet size, Buffalo restaurants are sure to deliver some of the best meals you've ever had....click here for a list of Buffalo Restaurants.

Buffalo events have some big plans for your vacation! Although it's known for it's winters, this town is also known for its great year round events. Of course the spectator sports are huge here with the Buffalo bills topping the list. Great NFL football is yours for the asking during the fall and winter months. The summer months are packed with festivals, arts fairs and concerts. We love the Allentown Art Festival, the Taste of Buffalo Festival, Shakespeare in Delaware Park Festival, and the fabulous Fleet Waterfest. These events have activities and festivities for all ages. For a smaller dose of concerts and performance, May brings the daily M&T Bank's Concert Series in downtown, and lunch hour has never been the same. Don't miss the Holiday Lights Festival at the fairground in December. And you can't avoid the great food, activities, and entertainment at the National Buffalo Wings Festival over Labor Day. Any month to visit is the perfect month with Buffalo events....click here for a list of Buffalo Events.

Buffalo hotels make finding a great place to stay a Great Lake breeze! With hotels scattered throughout the downtown and surrounding areas, any place you decide to stay is a convenient location. Downtown provides mostly chain names, and they are definitely above average. But you will spend more here, especially during the weekdays. Check out the area known as Millionaire's Row, This neighborhood has a good selection of hotels to choose from, some with lower price tags. Further out are a good variety of budget motels and inns, and staying here can work well if spending a lot of time in your room isn't a priority. There are some bed and breakfasts to choose from, and it's always fun to get the knowledge of a city from a native. But wherever you want to stay, whatever you want to pay, and whatever your amenities requirement, Buffalo hotels are always accommodating!...click here for a list of Buffalo Hotels.

Buffalo nightlife will get you moving and shaking, or help you slow things down. Whatever your speed and stamina, the nightlife options here are huge. For those out there who like to get their adrenaline and heart pumping, downtown holds the key to great night. Two of our favorite clubs, Broadways Joe's and club Marcella await you on Main Street. Great bars are spread throughout this area. We recommend the Pearl Street Brewing Company for its great selection of brews and a great atmosphere in which to catch the game. For you live music lovers, don't miss a chance to go to Two-Two-Three Allen and the Lafayette Tap Room. Coffeehouse lovers will fall in love all over again at Spot Coffee. And you culture lovers will have a hard time choosing from the Shea Center for the Performing Arts, the Studio Arena Theater, and the Buffalo Philharmonic. Great nightlife is everywhere, and the choices will seem endless. Buffalo nightlife is awesome!...click here for a list of Buffalo Nightlife activities.

Buffalo recreation offers a lot more than digging your way out of snow banks. With four seasons of recreation to choose from, you'll find something for every speed, interest, schedule, and price range. The warmer months are a great time for a visit with fun to be had at any of the city's great golf courses. We especially like the Cazenovia public course. If fishing is your thing, you are in angler heaven in Buffalo. Being right near Lake Eerie, and within moments of the Niagara River, get ready for some fishing extraordinaire. Take to the parks during these months and you'll also find loads to do. We highly recommend Delaware Park for just such days. And come winter -time, there's no place like Kissing Bridge Ski Resort for all things one can do in and on the snow! Great recreation is simply a matter of getting out and into it! Buffalo recreation will get you, and keep you, moving!...click here for a list of Buffalo Recreation activities.

Buffalo tours make sure you get the vacation you came for and then some. Year round services provide expert guides and all kind of rides to get you to the sights, sounds and stories you're hoping for. Gray Line offers some of the best tours of the historic, architectural, and cultural highlights of the city. They also offer some great ways to get to, see, and enjoy Niagara Falls. If you prefer smaller crowds and a more leisurely pace, try the guided bike rides offered by Buffalo Bike and Taxi Services. You won't get to Niagara, but you will get up close and personal with Buffalo's highlights. Finally, try the boat tours and dinner cruises offered by the Miss Buffalo Cruiser Boats Company. The dinner cruises are bit weird (a Hawaiian theme in Buffalo?) but the kids seem to like it. But whatever you want to see, and however you want to see it, Buffalo tours deliver....click here for a list of Buffalo Tours.
