A breathtaking natural wonder of the world

Located on the Canada-US border, the city’ s main attraction is of course majestic Niagara Falls, a series of three separate waterfalls that include the iconic Horseshoe Falls, widely regarded as a natural wonder of the world. A boat cruise takes you to the heart of the Falls so you feel the spray on your cheeks, helicopters offer breathtaking vistas of the turbulent rapids and thundering waterfalls, Journey by the Falls offers unique views from below and behind, plus the Skylon Tower and SkyWheel provide incredible aerial perspectives.

After dark, the natural beauty is celebrated with several firework displays and a nightly illumination show.

The Niagara region is also known for its wines with dozens of vineyards and wineries dotting the landscape just outside Niagara Falls. Make time to call in to pretty Niagara-on-the-Lake, a well-preserved 19th century village oozing with charm.
