1-Day Itinerary

Only have one day to hit all the highlights?
Let us help you pack in the most fun.

7 a.m.  A Galloping Breakfast

Visit Website

Head out for the track on Union Avenue, and get your fill of eggs on the clubhouse porch, while watching the horses go through their morning workouts right there in front of you. À la carte breakfast is served every race day from 7 to 9:30 a.m. (If it’s not racing season, or you just prefer to hang with the locals, give Compton’s Restaurant a go at 457 Broadway; 518-584-9632.)

 

9:30 a.m.  The Good Life—Back in the Day

Visit Website

With so many splendid homes dating from the 1800’s and early 1900’s, Saratoga offers a compressed course in American architectural history. Grab the ”Walking Tour of Saratoga’s East Side” brochure at the Visitor Center (297 Broadway; 518-587-3241) and just follow the map, beginning at Circular Street and going up Union Avenue, to view the graceful porches, sweeping roof lines and grand windows of Saratoga’s many architectural styles. Or, you can take a walk up North Broadway to see how the other half lived.

If walking is your thing, but maybe not architecture, go out to the edge of town and check out the Saratoga Spa State Park. Walk the stately Avenue of the Pines, or head into the shady trails through the woods and alongside the streams.
