OTHER PLACES OF INTEREST
The Walk Buffalo Tour presents the wonderful architecture of Downtown Buffalo, but there are other points of interest, both architectural and cultural, that are worth visiting, including a park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.
The following is a list of sites that are worth exploring. Most of these sites are within the city limits but there are also fantastic areas outside the City of Buffalo (most notably Niagara Falls) that are not listed here. For further information we suggest visiting the web site of the Buffalo Niagara Convention and Visitors Bureau at www.wrightnowinbuffalo.com
