Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, here are the top five things you don’t want to miss.
1. Experience the Power of Niagara Falls
A visit to Niagara Falls is a must while you’re in the Buffalo area.

2. Explore Buffalo’s Waterfront at Canalside
Canalside is Buffalo’s revitalized waterfront district, offering year-round activities. In the warmer months, rent kayaks or paddleboards, take a sunset cruise, or enjoy outdoor concerts. In winter, lace up your skates at Buffalo’s Ice at Canalside, featuring an outdoor rink with festive lights and music.
