Hudson is just 2.5 hours by car from New York City, but it feels a world away. This charming city in upstate New York along the Hudson River is full of antique shops and incredible dining.

FAQ: What to Know Before Traveling to Hudson

What is the Best Place to Stay in Hudson?

Any of the hotels on this list will provide a luxurious stay and add something special to your time in Hudson. I personally love the idea of staying at The Maker or Wm Farmer and Sons for your first time in the city, as both works with great local details and touches and provide a luxurious atmosphere.

When is the Best Time to Visit Hudson?

Hudson has well-defined seasons—and plenty of things to do in each of them—so you really can’t go wrong. I chose to lean into fall’s cozy vibes by visiting Hudson and its many restaurants and cafes when the temperatures were dropping, and the leaves were gorgeous that time of year.

How Do I Get to Hudson from NYC?

Luckily, you have a few different options. My top choice would be to rent a car, as there’s so much to see in the Hudson Valley and driving will allow you the flexibility to make stops along the way. However, if you want to avoid the expense and traffic of a rental car, you can also take the train.

Rental Car Tip: We use Discover Cars for our rental cars in New York, choose full coverage insurance, and opt for trusted companies like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.

The Metro-North Railroad takes about two hours with one connection from Grand Central Station, and once you arrive in Hudson you can easily walk to the main street from the station.
