What to Do and See in Windsor

Windsor, Ontario, sits across from Detroit, Michigan, USA. The sister cities are connected by the Ambassador Bridge, a sometimes busy but convenient option to explore both cities. The Windsor Riverfront is a walkway that runs along the shore of the Detroit River, linking hotels, shops and restaurants and providing a panoramic view of downtown Detroit. Caesars Windsor is part of that riverfront walkway, featuring a world class hotel, gaming and non-stop entertainment. Several museums make their home in Windsor, including the Canadian Historical Aircraft Museum, the Art Gallery of Windsor and the Chimczuk Museum, which features local history. Architecture lovers, head to the Old Walkerville neighbourhood to discover century-old buildings, some of which played a part in supplying illicit booze during Prohibition in the United States.
