The Taj Mahal of Canada, Niagara Falls is one of the wonders of the world. Attracting a whopping 12 million visitors each year, this natural phenomenon just needs to be experienced. There are no words to describe the feeling of standing beside the Falls, on the Canadian side, as the sheer volume of water thunders over the edge. The drive from Toronto is an easy two hours, so it can be done in a day. Or you can stay overnight in Niagara Falls and enjoy the many nearby attractions, including an extensive parks system, picnic grounds, historic sites and the charming village of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Niagara Falls has an American counterpart, but the world-famous Horseshoe Falls are on the Canadian side.
