The Canadian capital and the fourth largest city in the country, Ottawa is on the eastern Ontario side of the Ottawa River, across from Gatineau, Québec.
Ottawa celebrates Canadian culture all year long! Canada Day concerts on Parliament Hill. Fall excursions across the river to Gatineau Park. Ice skating on the historic Rideau Canal. This is a region with a long tradition... of green living!
Take advantage of the extensive network of recreational paths to bike or blade to the next museum or gallery on your itinerary. Admire the work of homegrown artists at the National Art Gallery — itself an architectural masterpiece — before stopping in the Byward Market for a well-deserved coffee break. And don’t forget to explore the different neighbourhoods, like the Glebe, posh Rockliffe Park or hip Westboro Village.
The Ottawa train station is within a short drive of downtown hotels and main tourist attractions. There are many daily departures to Ottawa from the Montréal, Kingston and Toronto stations.
