Rochester is named one of the top nine U.S. cities to visit in 2020 by SmarterTravel. According to SmarterTravel, New York’s third-biggest city is in the midst of a revival. Rochester has always been the entry point to the Finger Lakes wine region but now it’s seeing new levels of growth and revitalization, with more than $950 million being invested in the city’s downtown core, in a successful bid to make this one of the best U.S. cities to visit. Its food and drink scene is booming with new restaurants, wineries, breweries, distilleries, and coffee roasters. Rochester hosts more than 140 annual festivals; its key attractions include High Falls, a 96-foot Genesee River waterfall in the middle of downtown; the Lake Ontario shoreline; hiking and biking trails along the Erie Canal; Sibley Square and excellent museums. Rochester is one of just four cities in the United States that boasts an entire park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.
