Day 4-5 Arrive Niagara Falls
Board the Maple Leaf rail service to Niagara Falls
Train journey: 8 hours
Get an early start today as you travel to Niagara Falls. The cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario and Niagara Falls, NY, are connected by a bridge across the Niagara River. At the falls, its sudden drop creates one of the most spectacular waterfalls on the continent.
Among the shortest rivers in the world at 36 miles, Niagara also is one of the widest. The Canadian falls have a crest of more than 2,215 feet outlining a deep curve, thus the name Horseshoe falls. The river underneath is as deep as the cataract is high.
During the past 12,000 years, the approximate age of the falls, the crest has moved 7 miles upstream. While in the area, you may want to visit Niagara on the Lake, a beautifully preserved 19th century village.
Day 6-7 Arrive Toronto
Make your way from Niagara Falls to Toronto.
Train journey:3 hours
Toronto is a city of culture with world-class theatre, art, music and dance and of sports and entertainment. You'll find sensational shopping on your holidays to Toronto with everything from street bazaars to Tiffany's. Start at the Eaton Centre, a mall with over 300 stores joining at each end two of Canada's major department stores.
Head for Queen Street West for its funky fashions, bistros, galleries and bookstores. There's plenty of nightlife to enjoy on your holidays to Toronto. As night falls an eclectic mix of people soak up jazz, blues, reggae, rock and soul in a variety of bars, clubs and restaurants.
Rise above it all at the CN Tower for amazing views of the city and Lake Ontario. There is a unique view through the glass floor of the Observation Deck and you can dine in the revolving restaurant.
