About Rochester

Rochester—a stimulating, inventive, metropolitan community—is the third-largest urban area in the state of New York. Yet this high-tech community has preserved so many links with the past that it claims more sites on the National Register of Historic Places than any other city its size. In 1998 Rochester was one of only 10 communities nationwide to receive the All-America City Award, in recognition of its status as a great place to live.

Greater Rochester is an exceptional place to indulge your senses and a terrific place to visit—for a day, a week, a month or even longer. Whether you're in the mood for museum hopping or antique hunting, cultural pleasures or sporting adventures, scenic cruising or bargain shopping, history or art, you'll find it in Rochester.
