Ottawa Travel Guide

Ottawa is Canada's capital, and it is a city well worth a visit. For a current view of the Parliament Buildings, visit Parliament Hill.

Ottawa has been described as one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. Less than an hour's drive from the American border, Ottawa enjoys the attributes of a major centre for the visual and performing arts, as well as other big city attractions. Yet, it still maintains the accessibility, atmosphere and charm of a smaller city, in addition to access to spectacular park and wilderness areas located within and around the city.
