Southwestern Ontario is the agricultural gemstone of Ontario - where farms and smaller towns cover the countryside. A selection of tourist areas are listed below, each with their own distinctive charm and worthy attractions to check out!

Kitchener Waterloo & Surrounding Area

The "Greenhouse of Ontario", this region is covered in farmlands, and has a strong Mennonite heritage. Cambridge and Guelph are both not to be missed.

Grab hold of your beer stein! Hosting the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany, Kitchener Ontario is a hub of Mennonite and German culture.

The distinctive city of Guelph Ontario is a picturesque spot where flowers and trees grow alongside the limestone buildings. Home to the University of Guelph, this city is known for its architecture and natural beauty.

The Cambridge Ontario area lets you view the banks of the Grand and Speed rivers along the 10.5 km (6.5 mi.) stretch of the Trans-Canada trail. Activities along the trail include canoeing, hiking, fishing, horseback riding and others. The African Lion Safari is a must for children as well as the young-at-heart, where you will see exotic birds, lions, tigers, zebras, elephants and monkeys as you drive through the 'jungle'.

Hamilton

This is a not-to-be-missed stop on the route to Niagara Falls Canada! Although it has a strong industrial history, the beauty and abundance of quality attractions will surprise you!

Hamilton flourished in the 20th Century when the steel, automobile and home appliance industries took rise, and these industries are still the stronghold of the city. Home to McMaster University, Hamilton Ontario provides opportunity to explore many other activities, including golf, sailing, hiking, museums, and shopping.

Port Dover & Long Point

Discover marshlands, cattails, and nature running wild in this region. The sounds of nature at the stunning pale-sand beaches are soothing and breathtaking.

Along the beautiful shores of Lake Erie, this area is a haven for the nature-lover. Lively beaches can be found at several points along the shore where white sand, parks, shops, restaurants, and boats are part of the landscape.

London & Surrounding Area

A major Iroquois center, discover the culture first-hand in museums and interactive villages.

London Ontario proudly displays its British roots, with its city name, street names, and even with its own River Thames running through it. It is primarily a commercial and industrial center, however are an unusual number of parks and trees that make it a lovely place to visit and live. While staying in a London Ontario hotel, you can discover the history of the city, which includes a very strong Iroquois cultural aspect. Museums and attractions are of a very high quality and give visitors an insight into this fascinating tribe of Native American Indians.

Windsor & Surrounding Area

Industrial Windsor boasts a colourful history with its nearby US border.

Windsor Ontario is primarily a manufacturing centre, with an astoundingly impressive output, even exceeding that of some provinces. It is situated in a relatively temperate climate, however, and the surrounding area is known - in contrast - for its agricultural abundance. The city is linked to Detroit, Michigan by both a tunnel and bridge, and some say that the most beautiful thing about the city is its view of the Detroit skyline (which is apparently quite breathtaking). The University of Windsor offers a special focus on automotive, environmental and social justice research, reflecting the priorities of the region. Point Peelee National Park, along the shore of Lake Erie, is covered in marshland, and parks, where you can run wild with the wildlife, birds and butterflies.

Stratford & Surrounding Area

British roots shine through in the world-renowned Stratford Shakespeare Festival, and the swans of the Avon river.

Stratford Ontario is another city in whose British roots shine through, since its early settlers brought their love of Shakespeare with them! In 1953 the Stratford Festival was created, and it is now the third largest Shakespeare festival in the world, hosting more than 100,000 people each season. Book a Stratford Ontario hotel online, and be a part of the magic that the city of Stratford has created with its festival. The Avon River runs through the city of Stratford Ontario, with a number of famous swans (who have inherited a 'keeper' in recent years, hired by the city!). The downtown is quaint and the people are noted to be very friendly.
