Albany is not difficult to negotiate by automobile. The city lies on the west bank of the Hudson River, and major streets generally tend to radiate north and west toward neighboring Schenectady. There are one-way streets in the area surrounding the New York State Capitol, so a good map with clearly marked traffic-flow directions will come in handy.
