Fun Fact: Every minute, 34 million gallons of water pour over Niagara Falls.
Ontario
Ontario is a province that’s just as far south as Northern California, and just as far north as Sweden. It’s where there are 500,000 lakes and rivers, and one in every six square miles is a protected wilderness park. It’s also home to Ottawa and Toronto, Canada’s capital and largest city respectively. The truth is that Ontario defies being boxed in, which makes it especially popular. Niagara Falls has long been the honeymoon capital of the east coast. With flights into Buffalo Niagara Airport, it is easy to get to, and easy to keep falling in love over and over again.
Toronto
Nestled at the junction of three scenic rivers, there’s always something happening in Toronto. In addition to its clubs, festivals and impressive theater district, the city has become a major attraction for filmmaking, and therefore celebrities. The United Nations declared Toronto the world’s most multicultural city with its residents speaking over 100 languages, which translates to over 7,000 restaurants that reflect many ethnic tastes. Toronto hotels come in all varieties with a room for everyone. Be sure to take a ride to the top of the CN Tower, Canada’s tallest building where you can see out for 60 miles and straight down through its glass floor.
Ottawa
In Ottawa, French, English and First Nations charm come together to create something truly Canadian. This is the home of Canadian government, and the pomp of the Changing of the Guard at Parliament Hill rivals that of Buckingham Palace. The influence of the Algonquin people is evident throughout Ottawa and the Canadian Museum of Civilization. The Rideau Canal is a popular byway, and in the winter turns into Canada’s longest ice skating rink, while the Byward and Sparks Street Markets are trendy spots to find good food, bars and shopping.
