Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls, Ontario, is a Canadian city located at the famed Niagara Falls, which is connected to the United States by the Rainbow Bridge. Its location on the western shore of the Niagara River overlooks the Horseshoe Falls, the cascades' most wide part. Elevators transport tourists behind the falls to a lower, wetter view point. A promenade runs alongside the 520-foot-high Skylon Tower, which has an observation deck.
It's easy to see why many people regard Niagara Falls to be one of the world's greatest natural wonders. Or why it has played host to such great daredevil stunts over the years. Your jaw will drop the moment you see the massive Niagara River rumbling toward a 188-foot cascade at 20 to 30 (and up to 68) mph. The river's rapid flow creates a hazy fog and an audible roar heard from kilometers away. Crowds go to the railings at the top to feel the mist on their faces. Boats, platforms, and observation decks sustain colorful poncho-clad tourists as you follow the water's route below.
It can be seen as one of the Best Family Vacations In Canada. Niagara has evolved from a traditional honeymoon destination to a cheesy honeymoon destination, and it is now an odd blend of the two. Aside from the breathtaking waterfalls, there is a high concentration of quickie wedding chapels and neon-lit motels. However, meandering around the neighboring Inniskillin Winery's ice wine vineyards, as well as appreciating the lush landscape at the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, is genuinely romantic. So, climb in the two-seater with your special someone or stuff the minivan with your family and experience a breathtaking trip to the famous Niagara Falls.
