Niagara Falls is one of the world's top travel destinations, having a legacy of being on everyone's travel bucket list. It’s one of nature’s greatest wonders and has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. It’s also a four-season vacation destination with countless activities and attractions. Named after the world-famous waterfalls, the city of Niagara Falls overlooks the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. 

Crowned the “Honeymoon Capital of the World” and known as a world-famous wedding destination, it is synonymous with love and romance. In fact, this is where my parents had their honeymoon. To this day, Niagara Falls, Canada, is a sought-after location by romantics worldwide who come from far and near to get married, renew their vows, enjoy their honeymoon, or experience an unforgettable romantic getaway. It’s no wonder Niagara Falls, Canada, made the list of 'the 20 most romantic places on the planet.'

Rainbow sightings during the day in Niagara Falls have been surprising and delighting visitors for hundreds of years. On any sunny day, seeing spectacular rainbows over Niagara Falls as the mist hits the sunlight is possible. Niagara Falls is among the best places to see a rainbow on earth. This colorful natural phenomenon is guaranteed on any sunny day, which is frequent throughout the year, and even some cloudy days, making visits to Niagara Falls even more romantic.

The big boat called Horn Blower with Niagara City Cruises gives the best experience on both sides of the border.  In 1885, they started taking passengers to an up-close and personal view of the Horseshoe Falls, and it was an instant hit. This double-decker boat will take you to the center of the famous Horseshoe Falls. It’s truly a spectacular experience as you feel the incredible power of one of the world’s largest waterfalls. Heavy mist will surround you as the boat enters Horseshoe Falls and thundering water. Fortunately, rain ponchos are provided, because you will get wet. This is an iconic Niagara Falls experience and is not to be missed. 

One of the best new things to do in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side is the Niagara Falls Power Station. It doesn’t exactly sound romantic but has quickly become a fan favorite. You can take a glass elevator down 180 feet to explore the first major Canadian power plant on the Niagara River. As the elevator doors open, you’ll walk the 2,200-feet long tunnel that leads to an observation deck at the edge of the Niagara River. The tunnel is an amazing walkthrough of history and a feat of engineering. As you enter the observation platform, you’ll have up-close views of Canada’s Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls which is dreamy visual. At night, the Power Plant has a sound and light show that features an interactive light display set to music and the illuminated Horseshoe Falls await. The nighttime encounter gives an entirely new experience and perceptive of this powerful natural wonder.

Niagara Helicopters is an exciting way to experience Niagara Falls from an aerial viewpoint. This is the place if you’ve ever considered taking a helicopter tour. Tours are reasonable and well worth it. As you sit side by side, you’ll have commentary of your views as you gaze and fly over the breathtaking Niagara Gorge, Horseshoe Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and the American Falls. This helicopter ride provides an extraordinary view and was one of the highlights of our trip.

Fireworks have been thrilling visitors to Niagara Falls for years with breathtaking displays overlooking the world-famous Falls. The spectacular fireworks show is set over the Falls and offers an exciting visual spectacle against the backdrop of the Falls. The majestic Niagara Falls is also illuminated every night of the year, making this destination among the world’s best places to see fireworks.
