Hamilton Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

This waterfall is by far the most beautiful of all of the waterfalls in this area. When it was open, my family and I would come here all the time for a respite from the summer heat. You can also take a cooling dip as well. #mynovgetaway#thanksgiving

Symposium Cafe Waterdown Hamilton

It's known as a favorite Waterdown Hamilton family restaurant specializing in breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts with a fully licensed lounge. Suggested by a friend from the Milton area, we would agree. The atmosphere of Symposium restaurant in Waterdown was so inviting and nice with super nice staff. It's cozy and actually beautiful with relaxing vibe and special Renaissance paintings on the walls. The menu had so many choices and breakfast brunch selection available until 4 pm. The staff were very good at suggesting accommodations for my partner's dietary needs. The eggs benedict and Cuban sandwich were yummy. Lots of side options like salads - but we went with comfort food this time with delicious sweet potato fries. Sitting near the cake showcase was very tempting and they have a custom carrot cake - we'll have to try dessert next time. #newyearadventure#tripblazers#beachlife#campingglamping#foodie#mytripvlog#urbanexplorer#awesomepic#summervacation#cafe#passionpassport#celebratewithtrip#nationalpark#bucketlistreboot#themepark#2023travelwish

The largest cultivated garden area, Hendrie Park has something for everyone. This garden truly illustrates the diversity of both plants and garden design. #mynovgetaway#thanksgiving#couplestrip

Early spring at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Canada.

Spring in Toronto always comes late. In early April, the earth warms up and plants gradually change color. Spring flowers, such as daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips, start to bloom, starting with small flowers on the ground. The Royal Botanical Gardens of Canada is located in Hamilton and is mainly composed of several gardens, each with different flowers blooming in every season. Early April is the time when cherry blossoms bloom. Toronto receives quite a lot of rain in April. The official website of the botanical garden reports that cherry blossoms and magnolias are both blooming. This botanical garden is very large and mainly grows cherry blossoms, magnolias, and lilacs. It has huge lawns and winding trails, making it a great outdoor destination. The cherry blossoms and magnolia trees in the garden have huge crowns and are quite stunning when in bloom. Last week was the peak season for cherry blossoms. Magnolias were also in full bloom, but there were still many buds waiting to bloom. When I first visited this garden at the end of May last year, it was the peak season for lilacs, and it was amazing to see many magnolias still blooming with leaves. Garden parking fee for non-members is 10 CAD. It's best to go early on Sundays, otherwise members have priority. 📍Detailed address: 16 Old Guelph Rd, Hamilton, ON L0R 2H9

Easily accessible, great hiking spot. Beautiful during fall with all the leaves. During Covid bring your mask as depending on time you visit, you could meet lots of friendly neighbours. Noticed lots of people with dogs walking here. Three different parking spots. #mynovgetaway#awesomepic#couplestrip

Micah in train to Toronto

It was an experience spending and meeting my grandkids in Hamilton. We have travelled to Toronto via Go Train from Hamilton. This could happen after a 18 hours flight from Singapore via SF to Toronto
