Named after the infamous Belgian municipality where the Napoleonic era ended, Waterloo is truly a treasure trove of Canadian history. Located in Southern Ontario, Waterloo is the smallest of the three cities that comprise the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. Along with the adjacent city of Kitchener, Waterloo is commonly associated with the names “Kitchener-Waterloo,” “KW,” the “Twin Cities” or “the Tri-City.” Aside from having two universities, the city is also a part of Canada’s Technology Triangle (CTT), a government initiative to promote the region’s booming tech industry. Waterloo’s history can be traced as far back as 1784, with the first wave of Mennonite immigrants coming in during the 1800’s. Europeans have also made their presence known in the area, with most of the local population having German ancestry. Today, this city of more than 100,000 residents is home to five sprawling parks, a plethora of cultural festivals, and a vibrancy that is uniquely its own. Whatever season you choose to discover Waterloo, visiting it is never a mistake. If you wish to tour Southern Ontario and get a head start on your adventure, keep reading this list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Waterloo, Canada.
