Ottawa Travel Guide

Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, is a great destination for a short city break, with historic landmarks, beautiful outdoor spaces, and plenty of places to eat and explore. During my visit, I explored the ByWard Market, walked along the Rideau Canal, and spent time around Parliament Hill. Ottawa is also easy to combine with a trip to Montreal, making it a convenient addition to a Quebec and Ontario itinerary. For something a little different, Parc Omega makes a great day trip from the city. On this page, you’ll find my Ottawa travel things to do, places to stay and eat and tips for exploring the capital.
