Visit the City of Ithaca
Nestled in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, we invite you to experience what is uniquely ours - a quality of life that is nationally recognized. Ithaca's natural beauty is unmatched, highlighted by its rolling hills, Cayuga Lake, breathtaking gorges, and cascading waterfalls.
A community of artists, writers, performers, along with some of the world's leading scientists and researchers, Ithaca boasts an environment that values creativity, intellect, achievement and success. Theater and the arts abound in the region, and our local eateries are guaranteed to serve up your ethnic cuisine of choice. Ithaca is a very active and energetic community; we have outdoor recreation and sport choices for each of the four seasons - fortunate are we to experience all four!
