Hudson Valley
in Upstate New York
An antiques shop before lunch, a sculpture garden after. The Hudson Valley makes escaping New York City rather enticing, with riverside towns, handsome country houses and farm shops worth taking the scenic route for.

how to get there
Fly into New York City or Newark and hire a car. The drive to the Hudson Valley generally takes one to three hours, depending on your destination and traffic. Trains from New York City are a convenient alternative for reaching towns such as Beacon and Cold Spring, though a car makes exploring the wider region much easier.
how to get around
by car, on foot in towns and on hiking trails, by bike on suitable routes
nice to know
The Hudson Valley can be easily combined with a trip to the Catskills. Spend around three days in each destination, staying in a different base for each to minimise driving and make the most of both regions.
