View the waterfalls on the map.

Of course, breaking all the rules of the alphabetical list, we will start with Niagara Falls.



This natural wonder is located directly on the border between the USA and Canada, however, the most extensive view of it can be seen from the Canadian side. Nevertheless, tourists come to this wonderful place not only from these two countries but from all around the world. On average, Niagara Falls attracts over 20 million visitors every year. It is no surprise, as the beauty of this magnificent creation is truly breathtaking.

Every second, over 6000 cubic meters of crystal-clear water cascades down from the 50-meter height of Niagara Falls at an incredible speed. It should also be clarified that Niagara Falls is not just one waterfall, but a whole composition of three: the American Falls, the Canadian Falls (also known as the "Horseshoe") and the Bridal Veil Falls. 

The most popular spot for viewing the falls from the Canadian side is the Table Rock viewpoint — from here, you will have the most breathtaking view of Niagara Falls. By the way, you can admire it not only during the daylight hours. At night, it is illuminated by the glow and colorful lights of powerful spotlights that light up this dynamic water wall.

Naturally, the number of tours here is off the charts. You can take a helicopter flight over the Niagara, walk across the "Rainbow Bridge," and even take small boats up close to the falls.

Seeing Niagara Falls in person is always a wonderful experience. However, witnessing it in frozen form is lucky for very few. Of course, the waterfall does not freeze completely, and even partially it "freezes" only occasionally — this requires a certain number of consecutive days with low temperatures. But if you happen to be fortunate, the sight is something you and your children will never forget!

We also recommend checking out 21 facts about Niagara Falls, that you probably didn’t know.
