Clifton Hill is the main tourist and entertainment district, located in Niagara Falls, Canada, only 15-20 min. away from the gorges Niagara waterfalls and steps away from the US-Canada border.

City hilly downtown can be very crowded, and due to the insufficient number of parking spaces, our recommendation is to visit Clifton complex, by walking. And you must go through it in order to say you have visited all Niagara Falls.

The most often scenario you will see down there, when visiting the city of the most famous waterfalls, is that people will spend hours admiring Niagara Falls and great scenery it offers, while making tons of pictures of Niagara waterfalls at the same time.

Next stop will be one of the great Niagara Falls attractions, Journey Behind the Falls, located bellow the Table Rock center.
On your way toward the city downtown, Maid of the Mist is next attraction you don't want to miss. And you will see why.

Once done there, you will start looking, either for a restaurant, coffee bar, show, games for kids, water fun or any other type of entertainment. Right at the corner of Clifton Hill street and Falls Avenue, and across beautiful Queen Victoria Park, your exploration will start. 

A trip to Clifton entertainment area does not require too much planning.
If you are looking for a family restaurant, either turn right on Falls Avenue, toward Planet Hollywood, or continue walking. Behind the Sheraton Niagara Falls is an amazing theme based family restaurant, Rainforest Cafe.

If you are a music fan, Hard Rock Cafe can be your choice and Hershey's store, Starbucks and Coca Cola store for treats. The old Casino Niagara Falls is located there also, in the Falls Avenue.
