Niagara Falls, Ontario (2.16x)
Niagara Falls is home to two beautiful waterfalls between Niagara Falls, NY, USA, and Ontario, Canada, and one of Canada’s five most visited cities, along with Montreal, Quebec, Vancouver, and Toronto.
Niagara Falls has been known as the “it” place for honeymooners from all over the world for more than 200 years, because in 1801, Theodosia Burr, the daughter of future US Vice President Aaron Burr, and her new husband embarked on their bridal tour with an entourage of assistants and nine pack horses and happened upon the magnificence of the falls as they passed through to the then frontier settlement of Buffalo, NY.
Following the Burr family’s example a few years later, other aristocratic couples made their way to the site to gaze into each other’s eyes and bask in the majestic spray of the cascades. And then it took off. According to the Niagara Falls Tourism Association, the area receives 12 million honeymooners — and other visitors — annually, making it one of Canada’s Movers and Shakers.
And if you are looking to travel to Niagara Falls on your honeymoon, anniversary, or just because it sounds like fun, do some research to know your risk. According to the Pinkerton Crime Index, Niagara Falls has a crime risk score of 2.16x or 2.16 times the national average.
While PCI cannot predict if you will be the victim of a crime, it is important to know your crime risk so that you can make informed decisions like the best time to visit. Based on PCI’s crime seasonality, the month of January has the least amount of crime in Niagara Falls — bundle up, it will be cold.
And be safe.
