Niagara Falls sits on the border of the
United States and
Canada, 17 miles north of Buffalo,
New York. This "Honeymoon Capital of the World" draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year to see the three spectacular waterfalls: the American Falls, Horseshoe Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The American side is mostly parkland. The closest hotels to the falls are on the Canadian side.
