About Windsor

What to know before you book

Windsor sits at the very tip of southern Ontario, directly across the Detroit River from Detroit, Michigan — the only major Canadian city south of most US mainland territory due to the river's unusual path. Connected to Detroit via the Ambassador Bridge and Windsor-Detroit Tunnel, it's a natural hub for cross-border business and travel.

Caesars Windsor Casino, the scenic Riverfront Trail along the Detroit River, and a burgeoning Walkerville neighbourhood restaurant scene are the main visitor draws. Windsor is Canada's southernmost major city, giving it the warmest winters of any major Ontario city.

    Essex County wine country nearby — Canada's southernmost wine region is 30–60 minutes from Windsor. Day trips to area wineries in Harrow and Amherstburg are excellent.
