Saratoga Springs is a small city nestled in upstate New York just a 3 hour drive from Montreal or New York City where everything is just, well, pretty close to perfect. The city's lovely tree-lined streets and grand old Victorians, porch swings swaying and gardens brimming with colorful flora bring to mind a gentler era. World-class recreational opportunities, renowned performing arts and natural springs spas, plus 13 golf courses, 10 museums, a historic battlefield, nearby well cared for hiking trails, fabulous boutiques, antiques and restaurants mean there is something for everyone. When not in the classroom, relax at the Lincoln Mineral Baths, window shop in town or take a leisurely walk through Saratoga Spa State Park. You and the family can walk any and everywhere, it's that kind of place. One of the oldest tourist destinations in the United States, Saratoga offers ample accommodation choices in elegant hotels, historic bed and breakfasts or comfortable inns when family comes to visit.
