Situated just 30 minutes car ride from Niagara Falls, Canada, there's good reason why Niagara-on-the-Lake is dubbed Canada's most beautiful town. From the main street (Queen Street), to the lake (Lake Ontario), and the history (Fort Mississauga and Fort George), you'll quickly fall in love with it too.
