City advice
Don't miss
Downtown Albany
Leave your car and take a walk around downtown Albany. The architecture here is so beautiful and you will have several areas where you will want your camera ready. Take a walk up to the State Capital. Go to Corning Tower and have a great view of the city and beyond. Go to the NYS museum or just take a walk on the plaza. Go down to Broadway and check out the D&H Building.
