It is no secret that Niagara Falls is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
Not only does the region have the Niagara Falls, but it is also a focal point in Canadian history with many battles being fought in the region.
There is a lot to see and do in Niagara Falls and it is easy to get overwhelmed with all the attractions to visit.
ToNiagara has created a one day itinerary to experience the best that Niagara Falls has to offer. This one day itinerary will take you to all the popular landmarks and attractions.
Arrive at Niagara Falls (10:00AM)
The first stop is also the best stop! Before you see anything else you should take time to see Niagara Falls.
There are actually three waterfalls that make up the Niagara Falls; the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and the Canadian Horseshoe Falls which is the largest of the three.
Approximately 150,000 U.S. Gallons (567, 811 liters) of water cascade over the Falls each second!
There are lots of viewing areas along the walkways to take breathtaking pictures of this natural wonder of the world.
Take a Trip on the Hornblower Boat Cruise (10:30AM)
It’s now time to get up-close and personal with the Niagara Falls. Hop aboard the Hornblower boat cruise.
There are two Hornblower boats, which can accommodate upto 700 passengers each.
The boat travels past the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls and stops at the base of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.
This is a great opportunity to take beautiful, unique pictures of the Niagara Falls.
The Hornblower Boat Cruise is probably the most popular attraction (apart from the Niagara Falls itself), it is always a good plan to purchase Hornblower Boat Cruise tickets in advance.
