Ottawa holidays in Canada
The proud Canadian capital is a lively cosmopolitan city whose attractions include outstanding national museums, neighbourhood charm, acres of parks and superb cultural facilities. It’s a very walkable city and as you stroll its storied streets, you’ll hear French spoken as much as English.
Its most visited attraction is Parliament Hill, home of Canada’s national government and the setting for year round national celebrations. Free guided tours of the Parliament Buildings are available, subject to Parliamentary activity and can be reserved online on a first-come-first-serve basis. A summer highlight is the morning Changing of the Guard ceremony...
