This chapter on the Niagara Peninsula region is taken from the Ulysses guide to Ontario. There are many interesting places to visit along the Niagara Peninsula and throughout its surroundings. Here, urban areas give way little by little to vast, furrowed fields and vineyards that produce some very good wines. The area’s most splendid natural attraction, Niagara Falls, has impressed visitors from all over the world for over a century, while the Kitchener-Waterloo region and its surrounding areas offer a magnificent rural landscape of fertile farmland. This guide provides overviews of all the attractions, historic sites and charming towns of the region, as well as the lowdown on its best hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts, restaurants and outdoor activities.
This chapter on the Lakelands region is taken from the Ulysses guide to Ontario. For many years, the countryside north of Toronto, known as the "Lakelands," has been popular with visitors and locals seeking a respite from the fast pace of city life. There are three distinct regions in this territory, each with its own extraordinary scenery. The first region, the Muskoka Lake Region, is closest to Toronto and offers harbours for pleasure boats and charming villages. Further north is the region that borders the magnificent Georgian Bay, where visitors will find lovely beaches and the popular Blue Mountain ski resort. The third region, the eastern shore of Lake Huron, has some pleasant little towns and magnificent beaches stretching as far as the eye can see along enormous Lake Huron. This guide provides overviews of all the attractions and parks of the Lakelands region, as well as the lowdown on its best hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts, restaurants and outdoor activities.
This chapter on Ottawa is taken from the Ulysses guide to Ontario. In less than 200 years, the former tiny hamlet of Bytown has metamorphosed into the dynamic city of Ottawa, Canada’s national capital. Today, the elegant buildings of Parliament Hill and the broad avenues lined with splendid Victorian dwellings have placed Ottawa among the ranks of Canada’s most beautiful cities. This Ulysses guide provides descriptions of all Ottawa’s must-see attractions, including the Rideau Canal, the Parliament Buildings, the National Gallery of Canada, the National Museum of Science and Technology, the Canada Aviation Museum, Byward Market and Rideau Hall. It also provides information on the city’s best restaurants, shops, bars, hotels and bed and breakfasts, as well as suggestions for enjoying the great outdoors in the Ottawa area, whether by cycling, hiking or skating along the popular Rideau Canal.
