Trip to Troy

Just fifteen minutes drive up the Hudson River from Albany, Troy is well worth visiting. Besides being known for its wealth of well-preserved Victorian buildings, the ‘Collar City’ has some interesting old landmarks and eclectic antique shops for visitors to check out

During the early years of American industrialization, Troy thrived thanks to its iron, steel and textile industries. While decades of decay followed once its manufacturers headed elsewhere, it now boasts one of the best-preserved downtowns of any big city in the country.

This makes its center a treat to wander around as a rich collection of Belle Epoque, Gothic Revival and other Romantic period townhouses are on show wherever you go. Other than all the astounding architecture, daytrippers can explore the waterfront farmers market or enjoy a concert at the highly-rated Troy Music Hall.

Times Union Center

Right in the city center is one of Albany’s top venues to catch an exciting concert, show or sporting event. Conveniently located, the intimate and atmospheric Times Union Center hosts hundreds of memorable performances and matches each year.

Now known as the MVP Arena, after having previously also been called the Knickerbocker Arena, it was built in 1990 as part of a larger plan to rejuvenate the downtown area. Since Frank Sinatra sang at the multipurpose facility’s opening, everyone from Celine Dion and Elton John to Fleetwood Mac and Justin Timberlake have performed on stage.

The arena also acts as the home pitch of several sports teams, like the Albany Empire indoor football team and Siena Saints college teams. Amazing Monster Jam events and WWE fights also take place here, as do ice shows and trade events.

If you’re after the best view imaginable of the city and its surroundings, make sure to go up the colossal Erastus Corning II Tower.

Albany Pine Bush Preserve

On the northwestern outskirts of Albany is one of the last remaining swathes of pristine pine bush in the States. At the vast preserve, you can hike and bike around the sand dunes and swamps, forests and ravines and enjoy some wonderful wildlife viewing.

Formed thousands of years ago by retreating glaciers, the unique ecosystem now counts among the largest inland pine barrens in the world. Historically regarded as desolate and dangerous to cross, its untouched habitats are a haven for local wildlife with hundreds of species of birds and butterflies to be spotted flitting amidst the trees.

Aside from hiking or horseback riding along rambling trails, you can also learn more about all its fauna and flora at the preserve’s superb discovery center.

Lark Street

One of the hippest, most happening spots in town, lively Lark Street lies just a couple of blocks away from both Empire State Plaza and the Erastus Corning II Tower. Often referred to as Albany’s ‘Greenwich Village’, it is lined by interesting local shops and art galleries with cozy restaurants and cool little bars also featuring.

Now a major arts and entertainment district, the historic avenue acts as the main drag of the vibrant residential neighborhood. Colorful nineteenth-century brownstone buildings border the street while cobblestone intersections only add to the area’s considerable charm.
