Niagara Falls spans the eastern gap between Canada and the United States. It is made up of three distinct falls known as Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. Horseshoe Falls are completely in Canada. American Falls, separated from Horseshoe Falls by Goat Island, are completely in the United States. Facing Canada, Bridal Veil Falls are also completely in the United States. These falls are separated from the other two by Luna Island. On the Canadian side, a waterfall walkway was built so visitors could enjoy a full view of all three waterfalls with a special focus on the spectacular scenery of Horseshoe Falls. If visitors want to get closer to these giant waterfalls, they can take a boat on the Niagara River up close to the waterfall. From here, the falls are even more enthralling.

Those with a fear of heights might want to skip the bison tenderloin at the top-floor revolving restaurant of Toronto’s CN Tower, one of the world’s tallest buildings and a Wonder of the World for the American Society of Civil Engineers. Opened in 1976, approximately two million visitors arrive per year to scoff at gravity along its glass-floored observation deck, 342 meters above the ground. The tower currently transmits television and radio entertainment for the Toronto area. More importantly for travelers, it offers some amazing views of the city, especially at night when the twinkling lights of Toronto are unveiled in panorama.
