New York accommodation from AU$244

There's much more to see in the state of New York than just New York City and the iconic landmarks that it's famous for. In fact, there are 1,500 towns and villages spread throughout the state and a whopping 4,000 lakes! When you stay in one of our New York State hotels, you'll discover incredible natural beauty, indulge in gourmet food and award-winning wines and have the chance to learn more about the fascinating history of this great state.

Nature lovers will be in their absolute element in New York. You can go trekking through the Niagara Falls State Park, Adirondack National Park, Glimmerglass State Park and the Chittenango Falls State Park. Inside the Adirondack National Park, you'll find Lake Placid, which is alligator-free, unlike the Hollywood blockbuster suggests and offers heaps of water sports, so don't miss out.

If it's a rugged mountain adventure you're after, make sure you visit Chautauqua-Allegheny, where you can go mountain climbing, fishing and white water rafting. You can even follow the fascinating New York Amish Trail if you'd like to get back to basics and see what it's like to live a simpler life.

Life's also pretty simple on the 11 Finger Lakes, named because of the way that they are spread out like fingers across the state of New York. In this region, you can unwind with a bottle of your favourite beverage after visiting a few wineries, distilleries and craft breweries in the area. And if you're here towards the end of August, you'll be able to attend the Great New York State Fair.

Foodies should make a beeline for Hudson Valley along the beautiful Hudson River. Here, you'll find quaint little communities with farm fresh produce, delicious cheeses and award-winning wine.

History buffs can tour the New York State Capitol Building in Albany and then take an Aqua Duck cruise through historic villages along the river.

Towards the coastline, gorgeous beaches (including the famous Hampton's), mansions, fishing villages, fantastic seafood and wine await you in Long Island. And if you're an avid golfer, don't miss the U.S. Open Championship Black Course.

Make sure you check out these cheap flights to New York, these affordable airfares to Albany, New York or these flights to Rochester, New York. Once you're here, you can get around some of the most popular attractions by train but if you're planning on extensively exploring the area, consider booking a hire car at the airport.
