About the Buffalo to Niagara Falls, Canada trip
It's about 23 miles (37 km) from Buffalo to Niagara Falls, Canada, including a border crossing. Visitors cross from Buffalo for the Canadian view of the Horseshoe Falls, the Fallsview hotels, the boat tours, Clifton Hill and wedding weekends along the river.
Your driver meets you at Buffalo Niagara International Airport or at your Buffalo address, whether that's Tonawanda, downtown hotels or Clarence. The route is I-190 north to the Rainbow Bridge, Lewiston-Queenston or the Peace Bridge, depending on waits, finishing at your Fallsview or Clifton Hill hotel, Table Rock Centre at the Horseshoe Falls or the Niagara Parkway, or wherever you're headed.
The Canadian side faces the Horseshoe Falls head-on, which is why most hotel towers are on the Ontario side of the river.

Route and timing
- Clifton Hill and Fallsview Boulevard are busiest on summer evenings and weekends; hotel drop-offs are quicker earlier in the day.
- We check live border wait times before your pickup; both US CBP and Canada's CBSA publish them.
- If you're landing at BUF, we track your flight and leave once you're in the car, so a delay doesn't cost you a spot in line.
Border crossing, passports & NEXUS
- From Buffalo, the Rainbow Bridge lands right by the falls; Lewiston-Queenston and the Peace Bridge are the alternatives when its line is long. The Whirlpool Rapids Bridge is NEXUS-only.
- Entering Canada, you'll answer a few questions from the CBSA officer at the booth, such as where you're going and how long you're staying.
- Heading to Niagara Falls, every traveller needs ID that Canada accepts. A valid passport is recommended, and NEXUS cards and US enhanced driver's licences are also accepted. Bring a document the US accepts for your return trip too.
- The NEXUS lane can only be used when every person in the vehicle, including the driver, is a NEXUS member; otherwise we time your Buffalo pickup for the regular lanes.
Requirements depend on citizenship and age. Check the official guidance before you travel: US CBP (entering the US) · CBSA (entering Canada) · Live border wait times
