Ottawa is a vibrant and elegant capital of Canada with a rich history and a special atmosphere where English and French cultures meet. The city arose at the confluence of the Rideau and Ottawa rivers, and its appearance combines the solemn government buildings of Parliament Hill with cozy quarters and green promenades. A walk in the center gives a sense of calm and triumph of history at the same time: here you can hear the voice of the modern capital and feel the touch of the past.
Ottawa’s man-made attractions are striking in diversity: Parliament Hill with the Peace Tower and memorials, the National Gallery of Canada with the famous spider sculpture in the square, Notre Dame du Ottawa Cathedral and the Ottawa Town Hall. The historic Bai Market preserves the spirit of the trade tradition, and the Library and Archives of Canada store documents of national memory. There are many monuments in the city, including monuments to Taras Shevchenko and the Famous Five, and elegant mansions like Stornoway and modern cultural spaces make Ottawa interesting for lovers of architecture and art. Bridges – Champlain, MacDonald – Cartier, Bank Street and Montcalm – are also included in the list of city pearls.
Natural attractions are organically intertwined with urbanism: the Rideau Canal and the Ottawa and Rideau rivers form picturesque promenades and places for walking. Among the parks stand out Lansdown, Majors Hill, Commissioner's Park with Tulip Fields, Confederation Park, Vincent Massey and numerous green islets like Minto and Strathcon. In the vicinity, it is worth visiting the Rideau and Hogs Back waterfalls, Chaudier Falls near Gatineau and the provincial forests around Fitzroy, and Lake Dow and the quiet banks of the canal are great places for picnics and boat trips.
On our website, all these places are conveniently presented on an interactive map: you can quickly see the location of parks, bridges, museums and monuments, read brief descriptions and reviews, and build the optimal route for walking or car walks. The map allows you to mark points of interest, compare distances and plan day or multi-day excursions around the city and surroundings.
You can explore Ottawa on your own, following the laid routes and enjoying leisurely walks along the promenades and historical quarters, or book a tour with local guides.

This is a convenient way to get a deeper understanding of the city and see the hidden corners in a fascinating way.
