Niagara Falls Looks Better From Our Neighbor's Perspective

The massive series of waterfalls known as Niagara Falls is made up of three waterfalls: Horseshoe, American, and Bridal Veil Falls. The latter two falls are the ones that fall under US jurisdiction, and they happen to be the least exciting of the three. Canada managed to win big with their Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the three, which is a large contributor to why the Niagara Falls city in Ontario fares far better tourist-wise than its New York sibling city.

The reason is simple: the larger waterfall is brighter, louder, and more popular, so more people want to see it. Knowing that Niagara Falls looks better from the Canadian side makes the American side feel overrated.
