It's full of European vibes.
An Ontario destination during autumn.
Want a little taste of London this fall? You don't have to fly overseas in order to enjoy a bit of British charm and European vibes.
This Ontario destination will have you feeling like you're wandering along the leaf-covered streets of London and it's just a road trip away from Toronto.
Stratford, Ontario is a gorgeous spot to visit during the autumn months. Perched along the Avon River, the area was named after Stratford-upon-Avon in England, the birthplace of William Shakespeare.
While it is technically a city, Stratford is brimming with small town charm, from its Victorian streets to its 19th century architecture.
During the fall, Stratford transforms into a stunning autumn gem and there's lots to enjoy.
You can pick up some local produce at the Farmers' Market, catch a show at the renowned Stratford Festival and browse through the local shops in the charming downtown.
You'll want to bring your appetite, because there are several food trails you can follow, including the Chocolate Trail and the Bacon & Ale Trail.
Of course, you won't want to miss out on the fall colours, and the Avon Trail and Shakespearean Gardens are gorgeous spots to enjoy the foliage.
There's no shortage of restaurants to enjoy. You can grab a cozy cup of coffee at Balzac's, fill up on Italian fare at Fellini's or visit the Revival House — a unique dining experience inside a historic church.
There are also lots of cute inns and B&Bs to stay at, including The Bruce Hotel which has a 24-hour cookie hotline.
Enjoy some European vibes at this Ontario spot.
