Why Niagara Falls is a Timeless Favorite Among Travelers


Niagara Falls

Whenever you think of popular tourist destinations in the US or Canada, there is one name that comes to your mind by default; that’s Niagara Falls. There is no waterfall in the world more beautiful than this one. It’s like heaven on earth when you see its majestic beauty. Every year, thousands of people come to see Niagara Falls. However, which side proves more beautiful? Is it the Canadian or the American side? That’s a real tough question to answer. But, let’s take a closer look at these places so you can get a better picture.

The Canadian side

Do you want a postcard kind of view? If yes, then there’s no place better to view Niagara Falls than Canada. The sweeping, panoramic view is one that you will remember for your lifetime. Take a walk down the Niagara Parkway until the rim of the gorge. Here, you can see the three falls – the Bridal Veil Falls, the Horseshoe Falls, and the American Falls. There is no word that can best describe Niagara Falls from this point.

The American side

While the Canadian side provides a picturesque view, the American side gets you up close to the falls. No matter which location you stay at, there are always plenty of hostels and hotels for you to stay at on your vacation. One great location that you can visit is Prospect Point. This is the public observation area that offers some of the best view of Niagara Falls!

Niagara Falls US Side

Another thing to remember is to prepare to get wet when you visit the American side. Fortunately, you get raincoats right before you reach Prospect Point. Another important tip to remember is that you can’t touch the water. Even though the water is that close, there are supervisors around who can give you a hefty fine.

The Casinos

The natural beauty of Niagara Falls is clearly a great reason to visit the area on its own but both sides understand that visitors can’t just stay at the Falls all day. That’s where the casinos come in. On the Canadian side, there are two world-class casinos in Fallsview Casino and Casino Niagara with over 4,500 slot machines, 150 gaming tables, live entertainment and a number of spots for dining and drinking.

On the American side is the Seneca Niagara. A relaxed and spacious casino hotel located in a 26-story tower, just about a mile from the Falls. Like Fallsview, the Seneca Niagara is modelled after the Vegas-style casino and boasts a wide range of slots and gaming tables. Before you go, make sure to practice up on some of the best online slots to get a feel of how you’d like to bet and the types of machines you’d enjoy the most.

All things considered, it is tough to decide which side you should visit when it comes to experiencing the natural wonder of Niagara Falls and the countless avenues of entertainment both sides provide. In a perfect world, you take an extended holiday and visit both of them.
