Welcome to Niagara on the Lake

Often referred to as Ontario's prettiest town, Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL) is a beautifully preserved 19th-century village and the heart of Ontario Wine Country, located 1h25m from Toronto International Airport, 1h45m from downtown Toronto and bordering Niagara Falls.

Niagara-on-the-Lake holds a distinguished place in Canadian history as the first capital of Upper Canada and a key site during the War of 1812. This charming town played a pivotal role in early colonial governance and military strategy, and its historic architecture reflects its rich heritage. Today, Niagara-on-the-Lake is celebrated not only for its historical landmarks—such as Fort George and the Niagara Apothecary—but also for its vibrant cultural scene, including the renowned Shaw Festival, making it a unique blend of history, charm, and artistic vitality.
