Quaint towns, charming streets and fields of pastel tulips might sound like something from a spring trip to Holland, but you can enjoy all of this right here in Ontario. This dreamy region is brimming with European vibes and endless blooms that will transport you to a different world.

Niagara is a scenic region dotted with rolling vineyards, cozy towns and beautiful natural wonders.

The area transforms into a tulip paradise in spring, with row upon row of vibrant petals painting the landscape in pastel hues.
There are several tulip farms to visit, the largest of which is TASC.

With three million tulips, this spot will have you feeling like you're wandering through the Dutch countryside. Throughout the season, you can enjoy events, treats, live music and pick-your-own-bouquets at this spot.

You can also head to JP Niagara Tulip Experience, where you can get lost in acres of colourful blooms.

Other tulip farms in the area include Sarah Grey Pick Farm and Roadside Flower Market.

In addition to its tulip fields, Niagara is home to several charming small towns and communities that make for beautiful spring day trips.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is a Victorian village with European vibes and charming streets. You can spend an afternoon wandering around the shops and enjoying the local eateries.

You can also check out quaint destinations like Jordan Village, Pelham, Vineland and Beamsville.

With vibrant rows of tulips and cozy villages, Niagara is a springtime dream come true.
