The Albany Convention and Visitors Bureau's website, Welcome to Albany! , is a one-stop shop for people planning to visit the city.  The CVB's website provides background and history on the city, hotel and lodging information, restaurant listings, an events calendar, sample itineraries, and can provide business travelers with assistance when it comes to planning meetings in the city.  Tour operators will also find help organizing group tours and excursions.

One of the most helpful aspects of Welcome to Albany! is its transportation search option.  This feature allows visitors to choose the type of transportation they are looking for (taxis, buses, etc.) and then conduct a search for the ones that travel to the areas they want to visit.  The website's getaway deals are also great.  They offer travel packages to the Albany area at a discount which are available to visitors even at the last minute.  These deals are not available elsewhere on the Web.

Those who have questions that the website can not answer can contact the Albany CVB at 518-434-0887.
