About Niagara Falls, NY

Niagara Falls, NY, is a vibrant border town where the mighty waterfalls crash into mist-filled gorges, surrounded by lively streets, leafy parks, and a mix of American and Canadian culture. The hotel scene matches the energy: you’ll find elegant historic inns gazing straight at the Falls, chic boutique spots for style lovers, and laid-back family stays near the attractions. For the full experience, base yourself downtown—you’ll wake to the roar of the rapids and unbeatable views on your doorstep.

Niagara Falls has been wowing visitors for more than 12,000 years, and it’s easy to see why — the thundering cascades straddle the U.S.Canada border in breathtaking fashion, whether you’re gliding past on the Maid of the Mist, braving the spray on the Cave of the Winds’ Hurricane Deck, or soaring overhead on a helicopter ride. Outdoorsy types can wander the trails of Niagara Falls State Park, spot wildlife, hike the dramatic Gorge, or even zip across the river in a jet boat, while those after a gentler pace can explore the Aquarium of Niagara, browse the Castellani Art Museum, or step back in time at Old Fort Niagara, with its centuries of history. By night, the Falls glow with colourful illuminations and seasonal firework shows, a sight not to be missed!
