Woodstock

Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is located 300 miles (483 kilometers) northeast of Woodstock, while Niagara Falls is 85 miles (137 kilometers) to the east.

Woodstock isn't the only place in this popular region worth seeing; those with enough time should also drive a little further out to experience the unique qualities of the nearby landscapes, towns and cities. If you're keen to explore more of the region, you'll find Paris, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the west, and Stratford 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the southeast.

Around 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the northeast of Woodstock is Kitchener, an important regional city which is home to Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex, Centre In The Square and Chicopee Ski and Summer Resort. Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts and TheMuseum are other good spots to visit.

If the weather isn't ideal, don't worry, Southwestern Ontario is home to plenty of indoor art museums and history museums, that will keep culture vultures busy.

This spot has some great places for canoeing, so check you leave room in your schedule to fit it in. Fishing is another watersport here. There's plenty of ways for thrill seekers to get active in the wide open spaces around Woodstock. Zip-lining and mountain biking are two ways active visitors can get their kicks.

The handiest major airport, London International Airport, is located in London, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the west of Woodstock, so take that into account when booking your vacation.
