Things to See
Ottawa is Canada’s fourth-largest city and has rich history. Designed in a Gothic Revival style circa 1866, the Parliament Hill buildings house the federal government and are some of the city’s most beautiful sites. Get more in-depth history at the Canadian War Museum, which tells inspiring wartime anecdotes through exclusive photos, art, tours, and presentations. Many visitors and residents enjoy walking alongside the Rideau Canal, with a cup of cocoa in the colder months.
