Niagara Falls
When you speak about tourist attractions in Canada, you cannot help but refer to Niagara Falls. Visiting this majestic location never gets old. If you have seen this site before, you definitely would want to experience it again.
There are a few ways to experience this wonder of nature. You could either choose an up-close experience by taking a boat ride, or you could navigate your way through tunnels found behind the wall of water; this is called the“Journey behind the Falls”.
Another option is to view it from above by taking a helicopter ride or wait for night fall and watch the falls light up. All in all, the Niagara Falls experience is unforgettable.
CN Tower
This tower is another famous landmark. You can travel up to 33 stories to experience the best views of the city. For those a little bit more daring, you can make your way to the 113th floor, where you can walk across a glass floor which is approximately 2..5 inches thick.
Then for the real adventurers, you can take a walk on the edge of the building while being held in place by a harness. A dream come true for a thrill-seeker with nothing between you and the ground but air.
Ottawa River Rafting
In the Ottawa Valley, also known as the Whitewater Capital of this country, you will find a selection of rafting companies to choose from. You do not have to be an experienced paddler to enjoy this activity. There are various difficulty levels in the river, and a professional guide will be with you all the way.
Accommodation

Hotels and Inns
There are some hotels in the cosmopolitan city of Toronto suitable for both family or the individual. For a more romantic getaway, Sterling Inn and Spa might be ideal.
Other
If you want something more informal and layback, perhaps a cottage or chalet will suit you better. Then for something totally different and for a chance to destress, you could arrange a farm vacation. These accommodations offer you a B&B option in the farmhouse or a self-catering stay in one of their cottages.
If you have a family you want to visit in Ontario for an extended period and see the sites, you could also consider renting a house or an apartment. This is referred to as a short-term rental.
If you’re renting for an extended period then you might consider getting a tenant insurance which can cover all your valuables as suggested by https://www.brokerlink.ca/insurance/tenant/ontario. If your landlord has building insurance, it won’t cover your personal items.
In Closing

This province has it all, and it will make your stay a memorable one. Don’t miss out on the Ontario experience. Adventure awaits.
