Canada’s capital, Ottawa, is a city that is vibrant & exciting. Offering a walkable downtown, an abundance of parks, restaurants & museums, Ottawa is a destination worth visiting year-round. The city’s location on the Ottawa River means it's easily combined with stays within the rest of Ontario, or a hop across the river into the province of Québec. Due to its location straddling 3 major waterways; the Rideau Canal, the Rideau River & the Ottawa River, water-based activities are plentiful from boating to white water rafting there are lots on offer for all entry levels. Ottawa’s rich culture shines through firstly at Parliament Hill, seat of Canada’s federal government, which welcomes visitors on free tours and then throughout seven of Canada’s nine national museums which are located here, including the Canadian War Museum, the National Gallery of Canada & the Canadian Museum of Nature. Every Spring Ottawa is pleased to be the home of the Canadian Tulip Festival, the largest of its kind in the world.
