Introducing Hamilton
Blue-collar Hamilton is the center of Canada’s iron and steel industry, and as a result it’s not a good-looking or particularly appealing town. There’s a vague whiff of sulfur in the air, and a vague sense of menace in the city’s smokestack silhouette. Tourists usually grit their teeth and continue to Niagara Falls without entertaining thoughts of stopping, but recent cleanup efforts have improved things a little. If you do pull off the freeway, there are some decent eateries, interesting museums and charming B&Bs here, and the Niagara Escarpment cuts through the southern part of town providing sweeping Lake Ontario views.
