Measuring in with a 53m drop, the Falls has brought in visitors from all over the world for its beauty. Because of this beauty, this has become a popular destination for everything from family vacations to romantic getaways. Over the years, Niagara Falls has also become an increasingly popular destination for honeymooners. Perhaps one of the greatest benefits about visiting the Falls is that you can decide whether you want to stay in America or Canada. If you should choose to stay in America, you’ll find that Buffalo, New York is only 27km away from the Falls, while Ontario’s capital of Toronto is slightly further away with a 121km distance from the Falls. If you should choose to find accommodation in Toronto, you’ll find that when you’re not busy travelling to experience the breathlessness that only the Niagara Falls can provide, there is plenty to see and do in this exciting international city. In fact, many tourists visiting either region of Ontario or western New York will often make a trip for a day or two out of Niagara Falls, and spend the rest of their time exploring what else is on offer in these two great cities. Considering that the Falls itself happens to be the region’s greatest attraction, many tourism companies will offer a wide variety of Niagara Falls tours in which you can be guided to ensure you make the most of this naturally beautiful scenery.

One of the best-known and most popular attractions found at the Falls is called the Maid of the Mist Boat Cruise, where patrons are taken straight into the rapids immediately below the falls. In fact, the Maid of the Mist has been allowing visitors to get this close to the falls since all the way back to 1846. You will find that by taking advantage of expert help, you’ll get to visit other attractions within the area and get the chance to experience more than just the Falls. There are plenty of options for you to have fun with or without the little ones, including a variety of casinos, museums and an aquarium. You’ll also find that during the summer when the area is rich with visitors, the region hosts many free concerts and special events. When taking a trip to Niagara Falls you can experience a great deal of sights and sounds that aren’t all necessary located directly by the Falls themselves. When it comes to attractions surrounding Niagara Falls, the tourism industry of this region is centered on finding ways to allow visitors to experience the beauty of the Falls in ways they never could have imagined. Aside from getting the ultimate experience provided by the Maid of The Mist Boat Cruise, you’ll find that you can also experience the falls from an aerial view by taking on a helicopter tour above the flowing rapids. Apart from the Falls themselves, you will find that you can have a bit of evening fun at the three nearby casinos, the Fallsview Casino and Resort, Seneca Niagara Casino and Casino Niagara. You will also find that there is a huge assortment of sights to see and experiences to be had in nearby Toronto where you can match your experience with one of nature’s beauties with one of North America’s most exciting summer-time cities. Some places that you will want to visit during your Niagara Falls holiday will undoubtedly be in Toronto. In this grand North American City that over two and a half million people call home, you can take a stroll alongside the famous Toronto Waterfront, where you will find a plethora of great shopping and dining options, as well as views of some of the city’s finest landmarks including the CT Tower, the Rogers Centre and the Harbourfront. Niagara Falls’ northern location makes it a place that you simply don’t visit during the winter months of October through March as temperatures can dip below zero in the coldest months. On top of this, the wind chill factor from both Lake Ontario and the Falls themselves make this wonder of nature a place that not even the bravest would want to face. However, it is not always this cold. Temperatures begin to rise around April and tourists do tend to flood the area in the summer months of June, July and August when temperatures peak around 25 degrees C.
