Syracuse Travel Information
Syracuse, the cloudy city that is stingy with sunshine but
spectacular with sunsets, is a progressive town with a past. A walk
along the James and Genesee streets is a walk of old and magnificent
mansions and includes the Hotel Syracuse, all crystal chandeliers and
antique furnishings. The Onondaga Lake, on Syracuse’s northwest
end, keeps the city under a white blanket over a long winter, but
these New Yorkers keep active. Syracuse University is home to the only
domed academic stadium in the country, which is host to spectator
sports year-round. Green Lakes State Park is about ten miles from
Syracuse and the lakes are indeed green, painted so by both the flora
and fauna living under their surface. In the summer, this is the place
for hiking and camping. You can find more indoor pursuits at
the Everson Museum of Art, boasts one of the greatest collections of
ceramic art on the planet. The Erie Canal Museum is another monument
to the famous canal’s nineteenth century glory and the Museum of
Automobile History and the Rubenstein Museum of Science and Technology
bring the city through the twentieth century and today. Children love
the Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park and the excitement of the New York
State Fair; and theater-goers can only be excited by Syracuse Stage
and Landmark Theater. Syracuse is a mid-sized town located
about 140 miles west of Albany and 90 miles east of Rochester on I-90.
