Lying across the river from Detroit, Michigan, Windsor is a hub of manufacturing and international trade and also makes a convenient entrance point into Ontario for some U.S. citizens. Windsor is 230 mi/370 km southwest of Toronto.
The main attraction that draws visitors to Windsor is Caesars Windsor casino, which does booming business with its slots and gaming tables. The waterfront is also a draw: The International Peace Fountain floats in the Detroit River, and the promenade at Dieppe Gardens is a good place to view the Detroit skyline. River cruises depart from the gardens.
Other Windsor attractions include Jackson Park (fantastic summer rose gardens), the Hiram Walker Distillery Tour (home of Canadian Club whiskey) and the Art Gallery of Windsor.
