Niagara Falls is far, but it's worth it.

One of the dilemmas for those traveling to New York is whether to include Niagara Falls in their itinerary. Taking a flight and an Uber can be cumbersome, and a bus tour can be daunting with a 16-hour round trip. However, no matter how you get there, the falls are more spectacular than you can imagine, so make sure to visit. The falls are illuminated at night, and there are fireworks displays, so I recommend staying until the evening. Note that cruises and activities do not operate in the winter. The photos I posted are from the American side.
