Say hello to Kingston, Ontario - the first capital Say hello to Kingston, Ontario - the first capital city of Canada! 😃

Kingston is a very walkable place, making it easy to explore the downtown area in half a day. You’ll also have time to hop on a cruise around the Thousand Islands 🛥️

It’s a good stopping point if you’re driving from Montreal or Ottawa to Toronto or further afield 🚘

Have you visited Kingston yet? 🇨🇦

Stratford may be one of the most popular cities in Stratford may be one of the most popular cities in Ontario in the summer thanks to the @stratfest but it’s pretty awesome in October/November too! 🫶🏼

Start the day with breakfast at @fostersinn before walking around the downtown area, then grab a drink from @revelstratford before heading to the river for a nice autumnal walk 🍂

Have you been to Stratford, Ontario before? 🇨🇦

One place in Canada that never fails to disappoint One place in Canada that never fails to disappoint is Niagara Falls 😍

If you’re planning a trip to Niagara Falls in the summer, you’ll find it very overcrowded though 😅

I’d suggest booking your trip in September or October when there are less people and you don’t need to line up for the main attractions 💦

The autumn colours also make everything look even more impressive! 🍂

Have you travelled to Niagara Falls yet? 🇨🇦
