Explore the Golden Horseshoe in Southern Ontario, Canada
Most of Ontario’s population can be found in the region that is shaped just like a horseshoe and that’s the Golden Horseshoe along the shore of Lake Ontario between Toronto and Niagara Falls. Where there’s a large population, it’s safe to say you can expect ample attractions. Botanical gardens, scenic parks with views of the Falls, historic buildings, vineyards, and farmlands are top reasons to include the Golden Horseshoe in your itinerary when visiting Ontario.
Pack a lunch and enjoy an extraordinary view of the Horseshoe Falls and American Falls at Queen Victoria Park. Or, hop on the famous Maid of Mist for a boat ride that will not only amaze you but get you sprayed in the process. Check out a play at the historic Shaw Theatre, take a walking tour of Niagara-on-the-Lake, or join a wine-tasting tour and explore one the wine-producing regions.
