Palm Beach is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and exclusive destinations in all of Florida. Long associated with America’s elite, this island town feels less like a typical beach community and more like a European resort transplanted onto the Atlantic coast. As I walked down Worth Avenue beneath swaying palms and past pastel villas, I felt as though I had been transported somewhere between Italy and the French Riviera.

Winter in Burlington can feel a little quieter once the holidays are over. I personally don't mind; in fact, I prefer it. It’s the season for cozy dinners, planning your year, and actually taking advantage of things in the city we sometimes overlook. If you’re wondering what to do in Burlington during the winter, here are a few winter experiences I genuinely love that can help you make the most of the colder months.

Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year, and Burlington always has that Hallmark touch you just don’t find often. From cozy markets to sparkling lakeside lights and even a step back in time to a Victorian Christmas, there’s something magical around every corner.

You don’t need to go across the pond to feel like you’ve walked straight into Downton Abbey. In fact, Dundurn Castle may just be the closest thing Canada has to its own Downton Abbey. Visiting Dundurn Castle in Hamilton gives period-loving hearts exactly what they need to get their Victorian-era experience.

Did you know that a lot of Hallmark movies are filmed right here in next to Burlington? Hamilton, Ancaster, Oakville, and Milton — all just a short drive from Burlington — have quietly become some of Hallmark’s favorite filming spots. Between the heritage buildings, cozy small-town main streets, and rolling countryside, it’s easy to see why.

Fall in Burlington feels like that moment when everything finally slows down just enough to notice the little things — the crunch of leaves, the smell of apples and cider, the glow of soft light as the sun starts setting earlier. It’s the season where hoodies become outfits, pumpkin everything becomes acceptable, and the city somehow turns golden.

When planning a trip to the Adriatic coast, most people think first of Italy or Croatia. And while both are stunning, there’s a neighbor that often gets overlooked: Montenegro. With its medieval towns, Venetian history, dramatic mountains, and crystal-clear seas, Montenegro feels like a mix of Italy’s romance and Croatia’s coastline—only quieter, less crowded, and still something of a secret that most people haven’t discovered.

There’s something about the Brant Street Pier in Burlington that always calls me back. Maybe it’s the way it curves into Lake Ontario like a soft little wave, or maybe it’s just the peace it brings. Either way, it’s one of my favorite places to breathe, reset, and just be.

When the Centennial Rose Garden opened in 1967, at the Royal Botanical Gardens, it was more than just a patch of pretty blooms—it was Canada’s centennial year, and this garden became a living tribute to growth and hope for the future.

When people think about weekend getaways or day trips in Ontario, Burlington often gets overlooked in favor of places like Niagara-on-the-Lake or Muskoka. But that's exactly why Burlington remains one of the province's best kept secrets — offering visitors a beautiful mix of lakeside elegance, a hint of European charm, and the ease of a well-connected city.
