Some­one once described a bed and break­fast as the next best thing to stay­ing with friends. You are even greeted by name! There are no “cookie-cutter” aspects to a stay in a bed and break­fast — each home is as indi­vid­ual as its own­ers.

There’s some­where for every­one to stay: you can choose from a down­town her­itage home, water­front guest house, coun­try manor house, ele­gant inn, coun­try cot­tage, con­tem­po­rary home, farm or a wood­land retreat.

Lux­u­ri­ate in fine linens on a com­fort­able bed, soak in a two-person bub­bling whirlpool bath­tub and snug­gle up in arm­chairs to enjoy the ambi­ence of a fire­place — just the place for a roman­tic or quiet break. Beau­ti­ful gar­dens are often a fea­ture too for quiet relax­ation. Smaller bou­tique hotels are now incor­po­rat­ing some of the suc­cess­ful qual­i­ties of bed and break­fasts into their ren­o­va­tions.

Though Canada is known for its large share of deep win­ter freeze, it is also among the most pop­u­lar places with spec­tac­u­lar nat­ural vis­tas. It is also one of the most sought after hon­ey­moon des­ti­na­tions, because of the sen­sual delight asso­ci­ated with cities such as Que­bec City, Van­cou­ver, and Nia­gara Falls.

Those who assume that Canada is just another ver­sion of the USA, are greatly mis­taken. The country’s wild north­ern fron­tier has suc­cess­fully etched itself into the national psy­che. Its dis­tinct patch­work com­pris­ing dif­fer­ent peo­ple has shaped a coun­try that is decid­edly dis­tin­guish­ing from its neigh­bor.

Canada’s three-dimensional char­ac­ter edg­ing between the nation’s indige­nous tra­di­tion, and that of a mix of British and French tra­di­tions, make it both remark­able and com­plex. This, together with a plethora of tra­di­tions brought by the migrants and by the con­tin­u­ous infu­sion of US cul­ture, make up for the nation’s mul­ti­cul­tural soci­ety.

This city with its back­drop a dis­tinct Euro­pean charm, makes the per­fect set­ting for a roman­tic inter­lude in the win­ter, light­ing or rekin­dling the flames of love in hearts.





Roman­tic Vaca­tion in Van­cou­ver

Van­cou­ver with its fresh ocean air, green moun­tains, vari­ety of eater­ies and accom­mo­da­tion facil­i­ties, and abun­dant recre­ation is sim­ply great for roman­tic vaca­tions. The most unique aspect of Van­cou­ver is its loca­tion, sur­rounded by spec­tac­u­lar nat­ural beauty. Besides breath­tak­ing scener­ies, the city offers great sports such as golf­ing, hik­ing, ski­ing, and sail­ing to its vis­i­tors.

Roman­tic Get­away to Nia­gara Falls

Nia­gara Falls is renowned as the hon­ey­moon cap­i­tal of the world with its dra­matic views and scenic tun­nels. The first thing to do on a roman­tic Nia­gara Falls get­away is to focus on the falls them­selves. This is where the romance and magic lives. It is not pos­si­ble to describe the feel­ing of won­der that comes over you when stand­ing on the “Maid of the Mist” boat and see­ing all that water cas­cad­ing over the falls, and no there is bet­ter way of see­ing it than with the per­son you love. It truly is an unfor­get­table expe­ri­ence and roman­tic way to start your get­away.

Apart from the great nat­ural won­der of the falls, the Nia­gara area also has tons of restau­rants and hotels. There are shows and casi­nos to keep you busy not to men­tion lots of scenic trails and even day trips where you can visit some of Ontario’s major wine regions. Close by is the beau­ti­ful quaint town of Nia­gara on the Lake. If you still need more to do, there is always the IMAX the­atre where you will be hang­ing onto your seat, and a host of addi­tional muse­ums and Nia­gara Falls exhibits to mean­der through.
