Explore Buffalo tour company has released its list of 30+ downtown buildings that will be part of 2019 Doors Open Buffalo. The free self-guided and self-paced tour is a great way to get familiar with Buffalo, while getting outside walking around. The best part about this inspirational tour is that it provides access to the buildings’ interiors, which is worth the price of admission… free!
In order to participate, all you have to do is mark your calendar for Saturday, June 15, from 10 am to 5 pm.
