For most tourists, Canada evokes images and images of ski resorts. What many don’t know, or have yet to discover, is that this country north of the U.S. offers a lot of hot spots that tourists can enjoy way beyond winter. Here are some of the attractions that make Canada among the most exciting travel destinations in Northern America:

1. The Niagara Falls. The world-famous falls is a bus ride away from Toronto. Needless to say, you haven’t been to Canada if you haven’t seen the most powerful falls in the whole of North America. The Niagara Falls is the world’s widest falls. This is because it separates into three smaller falls, namely: the larger Horseshow Falls that separate Canada and the US, and the smaller American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, both located on the US side of the Canada-US border. You can get a picturesque view of the three majestic falls from a view deck, or if you’re feeling a wee bit more adventurous, you can hop on board a boat that will get you right next to the spray.

Some other things that you can do within the vicinity of the Niagara Falls include: a visit to the village and wineries for an intoxicating taste of local color, bird-watching at Bird Kingdom, a trip to the Marineland and the Butterfly Conservatory, and a game or two at the Casino Niagara.

2. The CN Tower. The world’s tallest free-standing structure for a long time before Dubai’s Burj Dubai wrested the title, the CN Tower offers a bird’s eye view of Canada. It’s also the best place to watch the sun setting over the Toronto skyline.

3. Lake Louise. The fact alone that this glacier water lake runs in the midst of lush forests and snow-capped mountains make Lake Louise an interesting natural attraction. The lake is best enjoyed for several days, so you have more time to ski during winter or take canoe rides over the glacier waters during the summer.

All said, Canada offers lots of possibilities in terms of sightseeing and tourist activities. So the next time you browse the Internet for travel destinations in Northern America, consider crossing the border to Canada.
