Albany is known for its rich history, commerce, culture, architecture, and institutions of higher education. Albany constitutes the economic and cultural core of the Capital District of New York State, which comprises the Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area, including the nearby cities and suburbs of Troy, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs. With a 2013 Census-estimated population of 1.1 million[8] the Capital District is the third-most populous metropolitan region in the state. As of the 2010 census, the population of Albany was 97,856.
The Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza (known commonly as the Empire State Plaza, and also as the South Mall) is a complex of several state government buildings in downtown Albany, New York.The complex was built between 1965 and 1976 at an estimated total cost of $2 billion.[3] It houses several departments of the New York State administration and is integrated with the New York State Capitol, completed in 1899, which houses the state legislature. Among the offices at the plaza are the Department of Health and the Biggs Laboratory of the Wadsworth Center. The Empire State Art Collection, a major public collection of 1960s and 1970s monumental abstract artworks, is on permanent display throughout the site. The New York State Office of General Services maintains the plaza. The Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center Corporation is a New York state public-benefit corporation that was created in 1979 to manage the performing arts facility in the plaza
The New York State Capitol, the seat of the New York State government, is located in Albany, the capital city of the U.S. state of New York. The capitol building is part of the Empire State Plaza complex on State Street in Capitol Park. Housing the New York State Legislature, the building was completed in 1899 at a cost of US$25 million (equivalent to $768 million in 2019), making it the most expensive government building of its time.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, then included as a contributing property when the Lafayette Park Historic District was listed in 1978. The New York State Capitol was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1979

Lived in Albany for 23 years. Left in 1989. Haven't been back since. Wouldn't recognize it. But, thanks for the trip anyway.
Nice road trip. Beautiful
Yes it was. Thanks for visiting.
With a pleasure I will discover Albany with you 🥰 thx for sharing
Have fun!
Wow really nice city
It really is!
Beautiful albany
Thanks a lot for visit.
I was a UALBANY graduate (1992). I still love coming back to Albany (from Long Island) every once in a while. I’ve driven these roads countless times.
oh my home city, i miss albany.
Another destination for a trip this summer😊 A great tour of Albany!
I hope one day I visit that beautiful place
Gang bangers shootin there man
I like the route you did, nice part of Albany & downtown!
Anyone else getting hungry for some steamed hams?
I hope you are prepared for an unforgettable luncheon
I used to go to UAlbany, and one of my favorite things to do was having some barbecue at the Hudson riverside
What else is there to do ?
Shy LaBeef?
It was always my dream to live here
Thank you so much for the video and info on the important landmarks. I do appreciate your effort!

Hi friend 💐💐
My home!
Nice!
I love these tour rides sooo much because I do know of this area and to stay home far away and enjoy these wonderful rides truly do create true reality how I am truly enjoying these amazing rides and I look forward to plenty more New rides if you ever want to take a person for a live ride I’m available
Glad you like them! More to come.😀
@Pedro Ivan Sanchez It was not Sunday, but it was during COVID 19. So there were less people and cars on the street.
I live in a town in northeast Kansas called Lawrence. Lawrence Kansas and the population is the exact same as Albany but Albany’s downtown is huge. Albany has tall buildings, a couple of skyscrapers but it’s population doesn’t break 100,000? Lawrence Kansas has about 95,000 people in it and it’s downtown is so small no tall high rise buildings. Lawrence is also a college town. I have to go Albany soon I have to see it.

Thank you so much. You are the expert about the area!
@@lwltravel4782 thank u..u gave me a heart and a nice hello..so I give my heart back..just subbed..keep up the great work !!
should of added a voice over explaining the buildings importance..Ive lived here all my life, just driving by such beautiful architecture doesn't do the video justice..
I didn’t know this was apart of New York this is beautiful
Albany is the capital of New York State. Downtown area is very beautiful.
LWL Travel Is it livable? I might consider moving there
@@stevenburrell5628 Albany is so Centrally located it's great in that sense..within 10 mins u can be in country..suburbs or another city..that was down ten it gets much nicer as you work your way up towards Colonie which is the 3rd largest county in the US..I love this area born and raised..I'm in Saratoga County ..again 10 mins from Albany stunningly beautiful area..!! Have a great day/ nite..peace..love
@@stevenburrell5628 you can be in a rural area in 5 minutes from this driving tour. Downtown is not interesting at all actually. Nobody lives there or even goes there for fun. It'd a ghost town and most of the city is shit. The region as a whole is actually nice.
Yea..it's upstate the capitol of NY..I from Rochester...9hrs from NY City
I saw this name on map then search it on TH-cam..🤪it's beautiful ❤️
Looks so clean like Boston!
Iam Swiss and we know how clean should look like!!!
Many CITIES in Usa looks so disgusting !
When u do a video some people don’t get it. You could also point out some areas
You are seeing downtown Albany at the beginning. Business area.
Albany looks like a sweet place to live. I applied for a greencard and with some luck I want to move there or to texas xD Cant decide
You missed the plaza on the right side near the end of the video.
Bro the plaza is dead
Hi friend how are you? 💐💐💐
A sort of a little Washington DC
You are right. The city is Sort of like DC, since it is the Capital of NY state .
Totally get DC vibes in Albany in certain areas!
@@kalskaleidoscope : Thanks , my feelings seems to be right
@@marcob4630 last year in fith grade we actually had a trip to Washington dc from albany but it got cancelled cause of corona 😔 i wish i could've went
@@littleleeseo : sorry for that, but you surely will have another possibility after this damned pandemic situation
Is it affordable?
Its not to bad. Can get a great education here.
@@SistaDeeKite1020 oh ok thank you.
Its average..nothing like the NYC .at all..Albany is very small..nice ..especially in the summer with Hudson River free concerts..a barge for a resturant..nice bike paths on the River..it does have some ruff hoods..like all do.. Architecture is nice..some movies made here..Iron Weed.. Jack Nicholson....a few more cant think of..enjoy the day..blessings to u ;)
Just maybe
My son lived on Ontario St. near Saint Rose College $865/month for a real dump tiny apartment. The month after he moved out there were two shootings on his doorstep, one fatal. That’s too expensive for me.
Millennial do you love Albany?
Honestly weird for me seeing "New York" but no traffic. Albany looks really nice tbh.
Thanks. The video was made when most of people were working from home, so less traffic and people.
Seems like a wonderful place for millennials!!!
Is the metro area good place for family thanks?
Is this good area for families nyc or capital district ?thanks
Looks a bit like Beverly Hills.
Thanks for your comparison. I never thought about it.
I thought NYC is the capital of NY State.
Thanks. NYC is largest city in New York State, but it is not the capital. In US, the capitals of state are usually a small cities.
@@lwltravel4782 Yes i think to reduce pressure on big cities of the states.
I used to think like that too until my teacher is teaching us about new york state
I wonder why albany is the capital of NY? Same in california the Capital should be LA and not Sacramento🤔🤔😒
From glens falls and used to live in albany, Got back from trip to NYC for the 2nd time, No longer is albany a cesspool to me. NYC is disgustinggggggg
God bless American
Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.
America belongs to Christ i pray that God always keeps America under his hand
Say amen.
Not like your videos cuz every time I see somebody at my house you turned a different way is the house if you was right here just turn and go straight but instead you see it for business and McDonald's can you go there next please
Upstate creepy ghettos
