Niagara-on-the-Lake, named "The Prettiest Town in Canada", is a mecca for wine lovers, theatre goers and "those who like to shop". It is the home of the Shaw Festival Theatre and many historic sights. The old town is a photographer's and artist's dream. Walk the tree lined streets and admire the beautiful gardens and historic homes. Visit the historic sights, and of course, the Angel Inn, the oldest pub in Canada.
Natural Wonder. A short drive (15 miles) along the beautiful Niagara Parkway is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world: Niagara Falls. In Niagara Falls there is another set of attractions, including Casino Niagara.
