Ottawa
Canada’s capital Ottawa is one of the country’s most attractive cities with historic architecture and a beautiful riverside location.
With its grand Victorian architecture, walkable downtown, historic attractions and riverside location, Canada’s capital is one of its most beautiful cities. Ottawa is considerably smaller than Toronto or Montreal with a laidback atmosphere easily explored on foot.
Head to Parliament Hill to see the seat of Canadian democracy – an interesting blend of British and American styles with The House of Commons, Senate and Peace Tower, which recalls Big Ben. Other historical attractions include the Museum of Civilisation, The National Gallery, Canadian War Museum and Royal Canadian Mint.
Ottawa is also easily explored on water by taking a boat on the river or along the canals. The Rideau Canal transforms into the world’s largest skating rink in winter (weather permitting).
