Top Culture Spots in Canada

I recommend grabbing a seat on the upper deck of the boat for the best views and to avoid any obstructed views from the crowd.

My advice is to wear a poncho, even if it’s not that sunny. I thought I wouldn’t get wet, but the mist is no joke!

Pro tip: After the cruise, take a walk along the Queen Victoria Park... It's free and has stellar views of the falls, plus it's less crowded than the boat area

I suggest downloading the audio guide before your visit. It adds a lot to the experience and helps you learn more about the castle's history.

Be prepared for some stairs; wear comfy shoes. I found that moving through the castle was easier when I was dressed for walking.

Make sure to take photos in the Conservatory; it's super picturesque and one of the best spots in the whole castle.

If you're planning to grab a bite, head to the café before 2 PM. After that, it gets very busy, and the line can be long!

Check out the front building before you explore the market. The architecture is stunning and there's usually a photo op waiting for you if you visit at around 10 AM.

If you're a foodie, arrive on a Saturday morning. The market is buzzin' with fresh vendors and special events. Don't miss the farmers' market in the North Market - it's a real experience.

Look for combo deals or tastings. I stumbled upon a couple of stands that offered samples if you bought something, which saved me a few bucks while exploring.

Ask locals for recommendations; I tried a sandwich that a friendly vendor suggested and it was the best bite of the day! Totally worth stepping out of my comfort zone.
