Niagara Falls Travel Guide

★ A World Wonder Decoded for the Perceptive Travel ★

No matter how many times you may visit, the impact of Niagara Falls never fails to silence conversation. There is an electrifying rhythm that synchronizes the rushing water and human pulse. But then, this is one of the great geographical wonders of the World, and last year, over seven million visitors were awed.

Written by a local with a critical mind and a habit of telling it like it is, the guide helps you find the best place to view the Falls, get a Panini or a cappuccino, photograph the Falls, and steal a kiss. If romance is on the agenda, there are hidden places that are so full of passionate vibe, a proposal will be inevitable. Or join the many couples -John Lennon and Yoko Ono- who have celebrated their honeymoon here.

Like Brad Pitt and his children, the Obama Girls, and the late Princess Di and her boys, you can sail the Maid of the Mist to within touching distance of the Falls. You can take a ride over the famous Niagara Gorge, or dine in the best restaurants with the most dramatic backdrop. This guide shows you luxurious and the bargain possibilities.

Just back from the Falls, a bustling entertainment zone ranges from upscale hotels and cafes to casinos, nightclubs and family attractions. Some are fabulous, some dont make the grade. The guide helps you navigate the choices.

Just a few miles from the Falls, the informed visitor travels past pristine parklands, gardens and pathways. Follow the Niagara Parkway to wine country, and roadside stands offering fresh local fruits and vegetables for a spontaneous picnic on the banks of the Niagara River. Restaurants that celebrate local products and the local wines are numerous.

In historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, youll find the Shaw Festival, the only theatre in the world specializing exclusively in plays by George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries, historic Fort George, high tea at The Prince of Wales Hotel, and eclectic shopping.

The escarpment also provides some of the best biking and hiking trails in the province and the Great Niagara Circle Route will take you on a complete tour of the Falls and its surroundings. This guide helps you plan your expedition.
