Rent a car or go by Amtrak train, about 2 hours away and well worth the trip is one of the most beautiful natural wonders of the world, Niagara Falls.

Both the US and Canadian side offer different activities and can be viewed at a glance. Here are the differences between the two https://www.seesight-tours.com/blog/niagara-falls-which-side-is-better. I highly recommend booking a tour of Cave of the Winds and Made of the Mist here THE TOP 10 Niagara Falls Tours & Excursions - Trips To Niagara Falls 2024 & 2025 (viator.com).

Pro Tip: If you are going to do Made of the Mist/Hornblower Niagara Cruises or Cave of the Winds/Journey Behind the Falls be sure to bring an extra pair of shoes with you, your feet will get soaked.

Be sure if you plan to go over the border to the Canadian side that you bring your passport!

Here is a map overview of all of the Finger Lakes

Seneca Lake being my favorite to explore and is only 40 minutes from Casa Larga to reach the top of the lake. I would recommend checking out Glenora Wine Cellar, Wagner Vineyard, Hazlitt Vineyards, Three Brothers Wineries, Belhurst Castle and the cutest and most unique grocery store, Sauders. Perfect stop to grab some local treats to bring back home with you!
