Walk, run, bike along the 25km Windsor's Waterfront Trail which hugs the Detroit river with scenic views of the Detroit city skyline, large scale contemporary sculptures, and ends at Ambassador Bridge; North America's busiest international crossing. This is where Mike asked Kristy to be his girlfriend and 8 years later, asked her to spend the rest of their lives together.

Yes, it is the same company as Caesars Palace in Las Vegas! Very fun to explore the hotel with its grand decor and themed decorations. It also has numerous restaurants like Spago (Italian) and even a night club inside.

Go on a tour, book a tasting.

Go beer tasting, grab a bite to eat, go on a tour.

Best Vietnamese food by far! (Kristy argues definitely better than Toronto.) There is a large Vietnamese population here in Windsor and you will have authenthic cuisine here.

Fun fact: Mike used to live above the restaurant for his last year of undergrad. This was the place where Mike's friends would gather - it was basically the coffee shop in the TV show Friends.

2nd best Vietnamese food! One of the chefs of Saigon House Windsor opened his own restaurant so you know it is good.

A fun bar to experience where you eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor.

Windsor is one of the hubs for the best pizza in the World! The International Pizza Expo have consistently ranked Windsor right up there with contenders like Italy and New York. Someone has even filmed a whole documentary about it:

What Windsor pizza is famous for? Shredded pepperonni, canned mushrooms, and a special mozzarella (freshly made and thanks to the beautiful Italian community in Windsor). Just wait until you taste heaven in your mouth.

Here are a few of our recommendations for you to get a slice of Windsor pie.

Since Windsor and Essex County is surrounded by the Great Lakes, the temperature from the lake effect helps moderate the region's temperature over the winter and summer. The area is also on the 42nd Parallel which shares the same latitude as northern California and Rome.

If you decide to go wine tasting in the area, I would recommend purchasing the "Wine Passport". This passport will allow you to go to 6/10 wineries in the area for $50.

Note: Passports are needed for all individuals in the vehicle to cross the boarder.

There is a toll to cross the boarder (Into America and back into Canada) that you'll pay when you get to the checkpoint. It is around $6.50 which you can pay by credit card.

Before crossing the boarder, please make sure you don't bring over any restricted or prohibited items (Marijuana products, etc). Refer to the appropriate gov. websites:

Canada: Restricted and prohibited goods

America: Prohibited and Restricted Items

Some Duty Free exemptions only apply if you've been away from Canada for more then 24 or 48 hours. If you're just crossing the boarder for a day trip you won't be able to save duty and taxes on spirits or Tabaco, but you can still purchase fragrances, jewelry and watches. You just have to declare them along with anything else you buy from regular retail shops in America. Please just declare them. Most of the time they will just roll their eyes and send you along. Better to be safe than sorry.

There are two ways to cross the boarder.

1. Ambassador Bridge (Not recommended due to truck traffic)

2. Tunnel (Recommended). This will bring you right to DT Detroit.
