Open the interactive map
While everyone knows and visits New York City, the state of the same name is not just the "Big Apple". Beyond the cities, the territory is a mix of beaches, rugged coastlines, islands, lakes, forests, and mountains. In short, a "natural" state where you can enjoy a variety of activities year-round in the Adirondacks, Catskills, or Hudson Valley. And it’s also in New York State, on the Canadian border, that you’ll find the famous Niagara Falls.
