Luxury holidays in Niagara-on-the-Lake

When to go

Fall color — in the wineries, parks, and leafy streets — makes September and October hard to beat.

Getting there

• Planes

  Stateside airport Buffalo Niagara is your closest option, an hour’s drive from the town. Or, avoid border crossings by touching down at Toronto Pearson International Airport, which is 80 minutes by car from Niagara-on-the-Lake.

• Trains

  Niagara Falls station is a 25-minute drive from the town, with daily services to Toronto.

• Automobiles

  Chauffeured winery tours and regular shuttles mean you don’t need a car to enjoy the town’s highlights, but for freedom to explore the wider area, a set of wheels will come in handy.
