Mai on Niagara on the lake town

When you visit Niagara Falls, a must thing to do is visit the quaint town of Niagara on the lake town. Niagara on the lake is a historic district.  It has a collection of residential, commercial, ecclesiastical and institutional buildings, many on their original sites close to the street. Here you will find some of the most well preserved buildings in Canada built between 1815 and 1859.

With classic British architecture,  Niagara on the lake was a prominent, prosperous Loyalist town.

I had a chance to simply walk around, have an ice cream, browse the quaint boutiques and shops, simply wonderful.

After exploring Niagara on the lake town district, a visit in Niagara is not complete without a dash to a local vineyard. Niagara Falls have many vineyards. One thing that’s worth spending a fortune (unfortunately you cannot taste it before you buy) is an Ice wine. Ice wine grapes are harvested during winter. I visited one of the Chateau to grab a couple bottles of wine which did not last very long.
