So... How Safe Is Niagara Falls Really?

Niagara Falls is about 12,000 years old.

The combination of height and water flow makes Niagara Falls so beautiful.

However, it is not only an immensely popular tourist destination but also a major source of electricity for Ontario.

The several bridges- the Rainbow, Whirlpool, and Queenston-Lewiston bridges- connect the city with the U.S. side of the falls.

On Clifton Hill, tourists can find the Niagara Skywheel, a huge wheel that offers an excellent view of the falls.

If a tourist wants to experience nightlife, casinos, luxury hotels and bars those can be found throughout the city, while for those who seek relaxation…

Fort Erie offers the feeling of an old town with restaurants and markets.

What is more important is the fact that violence and crime rates are very low here which makes Niagara Falls even more attractive for tourists.

The only possible criminal acts are minor ones, as in any big city, so tourists should have that in mind.

There are many other people around you and there shouldn’t have been any problems at all.

The most common risks here are the drowning or falling from heights, due to the slippery paths.

Tourists should hold tight onto handrails and wear appropriate shoes.

Tourists should be extremely careful when posing for a photograph.
