Start your honeymoon with a stroll through Downtown Ithaca. You'll find a variety of unique shops, charming cafes, and delicious restaurants serving farm-to-table cuisine. Don't miss the Ithaca Commons, an outdoor pedestrian mall with street performers and frequent events.
Spend the day exploring the nearby Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, which boasts stunning views and award-winning wineries. Many offer tastings and tours, and some have on-site restaurants or picnic areas where you can enjoy a bottle of wine and a view of the lake.
No trip to Ithaca is complete without seeing its famous waterfalls and state parks. Hike the trails at Buttermilk Falls State Park or Taughannock Falls State Park, both of which have breathtaking waterfalls and stunning views of the surrounding area.
End your honeymoon with a visit to one of Ithaca's fascinating museums or galleries. The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, located on the Cornell University campus, has an impressive collection of over 35,000 works of art from around the world. For a dose of local history, check out the Tompkins County Museum.
For the most flexibility and convenience, we recommend renting a car at the airport. This will allow you to easily get around to all of the attractions on the itinerary. Travel time between attractions ranges from 10 to 25 minutes. Rental car costs typically start at $30 per day.
If you have extra time, consider visiting additional wineries on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail or exploring some of Ithaca's other state parks, such as Robert H. Treman State Park or Watkins Glen State Park. If you have less time, prioritize the attractions that interest you the most and adjust accordingly.
