5 days in Rochester Itinerary

Blending big-city culture with small-town charm, Rochester sits on the southern shore of Lake Ontario.

Venture out of the city with trips to Letchworth State Park (in Castile), Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House (in Buffalo) and The Wadsworth Homestead (in Geneseo). There's much more to do: have fun and explore at The Strong National Museum of Play, explore the different monuments and memorials at Mount Hope Cemetery, take an in-depth tour of George Eastman Museum, and admire nature's wide array of creatures at Aquarium of Niagara.
