My Gateway Vacation

Niagara Falls, both the Canadian and the American side are perhaps one of the most beautiful places on earth and several renowned poets have been known to write some of their best works while sitting near the falls. This place attracts tourists from all parts of the world and a visit to the Niagara Falls for a romantic getaway is an excellent option.

The 56 meters high American Falls are the higher of the two falls and looks stunning at night when it is illuminated by a profusion of colored lights. An amazing fact about the Niagara Falls is that the water of the river that is located at the base of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls is higher than the falls itself.
