The Niagara Peninsula

This chapter on the Niagara Peninsula region is taken from the Ulysses guide to Ontario. There are many interesting places to visit along the Niagara Peninsula and throughout its surroundings. Here, urban areas give way little by little to vast, furrowed fields and vineyards that produce some very good wines. The area's most splendid natural attraction, Niagara Falls, has impressed visitors from all over the world for over a century, while the Kitchener-Waterloo region and its surrounding areas offer a magnificent rural landscape of fertile farmland. This guide provides overviews of all the attractions, historic sites and charming towns of the region, as well as the lowdown on its best hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts, restaurants and outdoor activities.
