Things to do in Buffalo

Buffalo grew rich as the western terminus of the Erie Canal and a center of grain, steel and shipping, and that wealth left behind an exceptional collection of architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright, H. H. Richardson and Louis Sullivan, plus a park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Today the economy leans on health care and life sciences around the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, the University at Buffalo, banking, with M&T Bank headquartered downtown, and cross-border trade with Canada over the Peace Bridge.

  1. 01

    Niagara Falls State Park

    About 20 miles north, the oldest state park in the country puts visitors at the brink of the American and Bridal Veil Falls, with the Maid of the Mist boat and the Cave of the Winds walkways.

  2. 02

    Buffalo AKG Art Museum

    Set beside Delaware Park, this museum is known for modern and contemporary art, from Abstract Expressionism to recent work, and its Gundlach Building added striking new galleries.

  3. 03

    Frank Lloyd Wright’s Darwin D. Martin House

    A masterpiece of Wright’s Prairie style, the restored house and its connected buildings can be visited on guided tours that explain the architect’s long relationship with the Martin family.

  4. 04

    Canalside

    Buffalo’s revived waterfront at the old Erie Canal terminus hosts concerts, kayaking and ice skating in winter, with the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park next door.

  5. 05

    Buffalo City Hall

    One of the country’s great Art Deco buildings, City Hall offers free tours and an observation deck near the top with views across the city and Lake Erie.

  6. 06

    Anchor Bar

    The restaurant widely credited with inventing Buffalo wings in 1964 still serves them in its original Main Street location, a near-required stop for first-time visitors.
