How to get there: Amtrak’s Adirondack route takes passengers between New York City and Saratoga Springs twice daily (trip is just over 3.5 hours). Trains run more frequently to the Albany, where you can hire a shuttle to take you on the forty-minute ride to Saratoga. You can also take Greyhound or Megabus from NYC to Albany. If your hotel does not offer a shuttle service, you might want to carpool with a Zipcar. Biking is also great way to get around Saratoga and surrounding areas, so BYOB (bring your own bike) if you have one!
