What to do in Niagara Falls: a complete guide to visiting from the USA and Canada
The Niagara Falls are one of the most iconic natural wonders in North America and had been on my bucket list for years. During a summer road trip with my family, I finally got to see them with my own eyes, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. Standing in front of that sheer amount of water, noise and mist is something you don’t forget easily. If you’re planning a trip and wondering what to do in Niagara Falls, this detailed travel guide will walk you through the main attractions, practical travel tips, where to eat and stay, and a few easy day trips. Because Niagara Falls sits right on the border between the USA and Canada, I’ll also help you decide which side makes more sense for your itinerary (or whether you should see both).
Things to do in Toronto: practical travel guide & tips
Located on the shores of Lake Ontario, Toronto is one of Canada’s most important cities and a common stop on many North American road trips. When I visited in 2013, our time in the city was rather short — barely a full day — and, to be honest, Toronto didn’t completely win me over. It felt modern, full of skyscrapers and business districts, almost like a smaller version of New York City, but with less character. Still, if you’re planning a visit, there are a few things worth seeing, especially if you know where to focus your time. Below you’ll find a practical travel guide covering the best things to do in Toronto, along with travel tips, food recommendations, accommodation ideas and nearby day trips.
