Niagara Falls Vacations
Planning a Trip to Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is a small city located just over the United States border with New York; it is best known as the location of the waterfall of the same name. However, the town has more to offer than waterfall gazing, and you will have no trouble finding activities during your stay. With Orbitz.com, you can book everything from flights to tours of Niagara Falls destinations.
The centerpiece of Niagara Falls is the waterfall itself, which thunders over the cliffs just outside of town. Millions of visitors from Canada and abroad come to see the falls each year. Away from the falls, you'll find everything from a wine tour at Niagara-on-the-Lake to an afternoon of golf at a nearby course.
