The city of Albany is a little hidden gem in the state of New York. Not only is it the capital of the state but also a great destination to experience the history of the area, whilst being surrounded by a beautiful natural environment. With its many museums, spirited arts and entertainment scene and shopping options, Albany is a great option that will cover all your travel needs.
The Downtown area of Albany is 12 km (7.5 miles) from Albany airport and there are two main transportation options connecting these locations. The public transportation option involves a bus service run by CDTA (Capital District Transportation Authority) that offers a route into the city but there are limitations associated with this option. The most convenient way to get from Albany airport to downtown Albany is undoubtedly to use an Albany airport taxi that will transport you swiftly and comfortably to your destination.
