Rochester, New York, USA

Big city culture and small city charm are combined in Rochester, a mid sized city located on the shores of Lake Ontario.

Known as the birthplace of amateur photography, Rochester has been long been called Kodak Town, being the birth place of George Eastman, but fame had been well established before that

Rochester has something for everyone, from family-friendly activities to professional sports teams, museums and galleries, the scenic views of Erie Canal, Genesse River and Lake Ontario and the nearby Finger Lakes region with its wine trails and gorges.
