Lead Writer, Travel

Flower-lined streets, quaint shops, and endless tulip fields await in this charming Ontario small town. If you're looking for a magical spot to visit this spring, you might want to plan a day trip or weekend getaway to this enchanting spot.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is an old-world village nestled in Ontario's wine country, just under 2 hours from Toronto.

According to Culture Trip, it's one of the "20 Most Beautiful Towns and Villages in Canada" and is "one of the most well-preserved 19th-century towns in the country."

As you stroll along the picturesque streets lined with flowers and historic buildings, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time.

There are so many local shops to visit, as well as cafes and restaurants where you can dig into some of the region's local flavours.

The town has beautiful hotels and spas, making it an idyllic spot for a weekend getaway or couple's retreat.

One of the area's biggest highlights is the numerous wineries scattered throughout the surrounding countryside. You can spend your day wandering through lush vineyards, sipping wine, and enjoying spring flavours.

During the spring season, Niagara-on-the-Lake transforms into a little slice of Holland. The area is brimming with tulip farms, and you can wander through colourful fields and pick your own bouquet to bring home.

Some gorgeous farms to visit include Tasc, Sarah Grey Pick Farm and JP Niagara Tulip Experience.

Other fun things to do in Niagara-on-the-Lake during the spring include cherry blossom viewing, cycling tours and local markets.

With old-world charm and endless blooms, this gorgeous destination is a little slice of spring paradise.
