Rochester to Liverpool bus

Perched on the shore on Lake Ontario, Rochester is an idyllic city with a small-town vibe, making it the perfect destination for those looking for some family-friendly fun. Rochester’s pride is Highland Park, which is one of the oldest arboretums in the U.S. Designed by the famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, the park features idyllic paths cutting through treelines and fragrant lilac bushes. If you wish to marvel at the beauty of the Genesee River’s Gorge, go on a hiking trip on the Genesee Riverway Trail. For more cultural activities, George Eastman Museum, the world’s oldest photography museum, would be a great choice.

Rochester’s food scene features many quirky dishes, including the famous local garbage plate, which features your choice of meat along with decadent sides. For the best garbage plates, you might want to check out Nick Tahou Hots.

The city’s busiest bus station is the Trailways Terminal downtown. The station serves several bus carriers, including New York Trailways, Greyhound and OurBus, among others. The principal Amtrak train station is Louis M. Slaughter Station, which is located just across the street from the bus station. Rochester is served by Amtrak’s Empire Service, Lake Shore Limited and Maple Leaf lines. The city’s commercial air services are served by the Greater Rochester International Airport, located 3 miles southwest of downtown.

Liverpool is one of the highlights in Central New York. It is a suburb of Syracuse, located along the northern shore of Onondaga Lake. Oneida Lake is nearby, and the enormous Lake Ontario is under an hour away. Onondaga Lake is really Liverpool's claim to fame, though. Once known as one of the country's most polluted lakes, years of cleanup initiatives have made Onondaga Lake safe for swimming and fishing again.

Onondaga Lake Park is a lively 8-mile linear park along the lakefront that is popular with locals and visitors alike. Stroll along the lakeside trails, take the kids to Wegmans Playground, try your hand at shuffleboard, or take a kayak out onto the lake from several boat launches. The park is even home to the Salt Museum, dedicated to detailing the history of the Syracuse area and its relationship to the salt industry.

If you are a food lover, there are countless excellent restaurants in Liverpool. The Rio Grande and Santangelo's Restaurant are worth a visit, and Retreat Bar and Sharkey's are two excellent options for some local nightlife.

FlixBus provides intercity bus service to Liverpool from Binghamton, New York City, Niagara Falls, and even Boston. Additional transportation options depart from nearby Syracuse, including trains on a few Amtrak lines and flights from the Syracuse Hancock International Airport.
