Buffalo Hotels

Buffalo is feisty but a bit awkward, as if she can't quite decide whether to shake off her old rust-belt life of decaying factories, disappearing industry, snow and poverty and take on a new persona of cultural hub extraordinaire and serious art destination.

The US is most popular with travellers during the summer, but this is when American families pack everything up and head out to visit Aunt Tilly. To avoid mobs (especially throughout the national park system), it's better to go during autumn or early spring.
