Ithaca offers a delightful blend of natural beauty and academic charm. Here's how to make the most of your stay.
Fast Fact: Did you know? Over 75% of hotels in Ithaca are within walking distance to scenic gorges or lakesides - like the Hilton Garden Inn Ithaca, which provides stunning views of the waterfront.
Local Hack: Always inquire about a 'Cayuga wine tour' package - many hotels offer discounts or include vineyard tours at no additional charge.
Hidden Gem: Check out the Sciencenter (under 15 mins from downtown), a hands-on science museum perfect for both kids and adults, featuring interactive exhibits that inspire curiosity.
Smart Tip: If you book your stay during Cornell University events, expect hotel rates to rise by up to 50%, so plan your visit outside of academic calendars.
