Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
World’s Longest Undefended Border in Daily Cultural Exchange
Stretching over 8,891 kilometers, the boundary between Canada and the United States stands as the world’s longest undefended international border. When you decide to travel between these neighboring countries, you are participating in a daily exchange of culture and commerce that has defined their relationship for centuries.
Iconic Bridges from Ambassador to Peace Arch and Haskell Straddle
With more than 100 official land ports of entry, your options are plentiful. You will find major crossings such as the Ambassador Bridge connecting Detroit to Windsor, the Peace Bridge from Buffalo to Fort Erie, and the Rainbow Bridge offering views of Niagara Falls. Further west, the Peace Arch crossing links Washington state with British Columbia. Dozens of smaller crossings, like the one between Derby Line, Vermont, and Stanstead, Quebec, dot the landscape, each serving local communities.
