Today, take a leisurely journey along the shores of Lake Ontario to Niagara Falls, the honeymoon capital of the world. For many, Niagara is more than the spectacle of Niagara Falls, it’s the aroma of ripening grapes for wine and the taste of succulent fresh fruit, its theme parks, or for history buffs, the 20 historical museums, two reconstructed forts, along with the historic charm of Niagara-on-the-Lake. For sportsmen, there are over 40 golf courses, and the fishing on Lakes Ontario and Erie.
