About Albany and New York State's Capital Region

The Albany area is an exciting place with many interesting places to see and fun things to do. It offers the advantages of a major metropolitan area while maintaining the qualities of a small community.

The Capital Region, comprised of Albany, Schenectady, Troy and Saratoga Springs, is an area of approximately 800,000 people, including more than 50,000 college students.

We encourage our students to explore and get to know this area. From government sites to museums, planetariums and great entertainment, you'll find it all in the Capital Region!
