📢 Hey 419! International travel can be as easy

📢 Hey 419! International travel can be as easy as a weekend trip to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls! 🇨🇦

👀 Go to the Fallsview Trail and Table Rock during the day and the Niagara Falls Illumination at night in @niagaraparks ! Once you've seen the Falls, a variety of fun activities and nightlife line the street of @cliftonhillfun .

🥪 Try classic Canadian foods like poutine, beavertails, buttertarts, maple syrup and ketchup chips. Niagara Falls is also a hub of international cuisine for you to explore!

Check out these places for some yummy food:

🚗 Drive for five hours through the Canadian countryside to get to Niagara Falls. It only costs about $9 to cross the border, just make sure you bring your passport, passport card or visa!

🏠 There are plenty of hotels, bed and breakfasts, Airbnbs, and rooms in Niagara Falls! I like to use @expedia and @airbnb for the best deals, but comment below if you have a different website you like to use 👇

💵: Our entire trip, including lodging for two nights and gas, food and activities for two people across three days only cost $300! It was an affordable trip and totally worth it to see the beautiful Falls, try new foods and travel internationally.

Where are you going on your next weekend trip? 🤔
