So here is our first tour: Buffalo Waterfront. It took around only one hour to make it, but there's much to see! Wanna do it? Here are the step and main spots of the tour:
First start at HSBC Arena (or First Niagara Arena), home of the Buffalo Sabers. Then walk around Erie Canal Harbor, which is situated at the point where the Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal converge. Walking further, you'll be able to see the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park, which shows World War II ships and submarine.
At the waterfront, you can also see the First Grain Elevator, an invention which transferred big quantities of grain from the Great Lakes ships to Erie Canal boats or railcars more efficient. Going further, you can see the Buffalo Lighthouse on the other side of the river, at the point which this connects to Lake Erie. Looking at the other side of the lake, you can also see the mouth of Niagara River. At the end of the walkway that contours the waterfront, you can go to an Observation Tower and go to the top of it and have some great views of the waterfront.
Hungry? Go to the Hatch, which sells good hot dogs and ice creams, but unfortunately it's seasonal; or to Templeton Landing, a fine-dining restaurant with great views of the waterfront.
Definitely, that was one of the best tours I had in Buffalo! It is beautiful and full of history! I advice you to do it as soon as you can!
