There is something about a holiday to Niagara Falls that appeals to the lover, daredevil and poet in everyone. Over the years Niagara Falls has evolved from a strategic military post to a prosperous trade centre and finally into a world class year-round holiday destination.
The region is composed of three waterfalls in two major sections separated by Goat Island: Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side of the border and American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls on the American side.
Horseshoe Falls is considered to be the most impressive of the three. Approximately 90% of the water of the Niagara River flows over Horseshoe Falls, while the other 10% flows over the American Falls. At the centre of Horseshoe Falls the water is about 10 feet deep. It passes over the crest at a speed of 20 mph. The falls is173 feet high and has an average crest elevation of 500 feet and faces northwards. The depth of the river at the base of the falls is actually higher than the falls itself estimated at 184 feet.

Where you stay is the heart of your holiday. Location reigns supreme but do you prefer resort facilities or unique and boutique? Historic and old world or modern and shiny?

We would rate the Bellagio as one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Fabulous, glitzy, exciting. We loved having breakfast at the poolside café... one of our best experiences ever. If it hadn't been for you we wouldn't have had the suite or cabana and we loved them. We both agreed that the hotel was the best for us and you had suggested that so well done!
