Niagara in autumn, the most romantic months

In the Niagara Falls in autumn, temperatures drop, and with them, the number of tourists and the price of hotel rooms also decrease. Many think it is the best time to visit the area, just because there are still pleasant temperatures that allow you to enjoy your surroundings with some comfort. The landscape is very picturesque and autumn is considered the most romantic time of the year in Niagara.
