Niagara Falls
Attraction & City in Ontario
Niagara Falls transcends the border between the USA and Canada. The Canadian side of the Falls is located adjacent to the Canadian City of the same name which is situated on the western bank of the Niagara River in the Golden Horshoe region of southern Ontario.
The Falls can be seen best from the Canadian side so the city of Niagara Falls has developed into one of the world’s major tourist centres.
Tourist facilities stretch along the Niagara Parkway and tourist promenade but are particularly concentrated at the brink of the falls. Apart from the river’s natural attractions, this area includes observation towers, high-rise hotels, souvenir shops, casinos and theatres with sufficient parking to accommodate visitors. Nearby there are a number of golf courses together with historic sites from the War of 1812 between Britain (Canada) and the USA.
