Niagara Falls

Introduction

Every year the Falls attract more than 14 million visitors, with three quarters of those trying their luck at the casinos. The city also remains one of the world’s great honeymoon capitals.  Traditionally of course the main tourist magnets are still the cascading falls and the Maid of The Mist boat ride but the Niagara region has much more to offer with sights such as the Skylon Tower, The Casino and the Cham Shan Buddhist Temple.  East of Niagara Falls along the Niagara Gorge is the spectacular Niagara Parkway, enjoy hilltop views and picnics at places such as Queenston Heights.  The area is also home to the Butterfly Conservatory and Niagara Falls Aviary.  Further along in Niagara-on-the-Lake , take in a play at the Shaw Festival or stroll through the uniquely historical downtown area, complete with quaint shops and  boutiques, a variety restaurants and charming bed and breakfast accommodation.
