Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is one of the world's most powerful waterfalls, where the Horseshoe Falls sends over 2,800 cubic metres of water crashing over the edge every second, close enough to feel the spray from the viewing promenades. On the Canadian side, the city has built a full resort landscape of observation towers, boat tours and casinos around that natural spectacle, making it as much a purpose-built attraction as a geological wonder.
