How long for these cities?
Thanks for all the replies everyone. Regarding Niagara Falls, I assume one
day is enough for most of the Falls-related activities on both the Canadian and American side? Also, how long does it take to get to the American side from the Canadian side? Is it a short walk, or a bus ride away? |

How long for these cities?
Regarding Niagara Falls, I assume one day is enough for most of the
Falls-related activities on both the Canadian and American side? Yes. Also, how long does it take to get to the American side from the Canadian side? Is it a short walk, or a bus ride away? The international bridge itself -- the Rainbow Bridge -- is less than 1,000 feet (300 m) long, and it's just about 1 mile (1.6 km) downstream of the Horseshoe Falls (the main fall), or about half that distance from the American Falls. The longest distance you'd be likely to want to walk in the falls area would be starting from the Canadian end of the brink of the Horseshoe Falls to the Rainbow Bridge, crossing into the US, then walking to the bridge to Goat Island and crossing onto the island, and finally across the island to Terrapin Point at the American end of the brink of the Horseshoe Falls; that would add up to about 2.3 miles (3.7 km) one way, if you didn't make any detours. There are buses that run along the Canadian side, but I don't know the details; I've always walked. On the American side they used to have a service of those mini-trains that run on road wheels to take you on and off Goat Island, but the only time I've been there any time recently I was driving a car, so I can't confirm that they still operate. -- Mark Brader, Toronto "Verbose better." -- David M.

Not much nightlife, not much street life, mainly just a dull medium-sized city distinguished only by a preponderance of commemorative plaques. miguel -- Hit The Road!

I can see your point to an extent, but it has great museums and parts of it are pretty and fun to walk around.
