Gateway to Niagara Falls with a resurgent downtown, Frank Lloyd Wright architecture, and the birthplace of the Buffalo wing.
Why Visit Buffalo
Buffalo has reinvented itself from a rust belt city into a destination for architecture fans, food lovers, and travelers using it as a base for Niagara Falls. The city holds one of the largest collections of Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan buildings anywhere, and its waterfront on Lake Erie has been transformed with parks, breweries, and boardwalks.
