Touring Niagara Falls : vacation in style !


Shaped like a gigantic, 675-metre-long horseshoe and 54 metres high, the incredible power of up to 6 millions cubic feet per minute of water make Niagara Falls one of the most popular vacation destinations in Canada.

Easily accessible by train, Niagara Falls is without question a highly developed tourist centre. With boat cruises to the foot of the falls, helicopter flights, underground tunnels, and dinner overlooking the top, visitors can put together a vacation package to see the falls from every angle. Illuminated by night, they’re magical, and when crowned with fireworks, the show is awesome!

Niagara is much more than the falls though, with tours and side trips to enchant the senses of every traveller! Take the time to travel the picturesque wine route to discover different grape varieties and the celebrated "ice wine", such as Inniskillin. Above all, don't miss the Niagara Grape and Wine Festival, one of the year's main cultural events in Ontario. For a blaze of colour, the Butterfly Conservatory in the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens houses more than 2,000 free-flying butterflies.

While on your Niagara vacation, don’t miss the many fascinating museums and historical sites, including the Brock Monument, the Laura Secord House and Fort George. And you'll have plenty to do in the evenings with the casino, cinemas, IMAX theatre or simply watching boats plying the Welland canal.

Sports fans will also find their heart's content visiting the region's many golf courses or fishing on Lakes Ontario and Erie. With 121 km of coast, the region is a paradise for anglers!
