Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. It is also the fourth largest city in Canada. Located in Eastern Ontario at the junction of three large waterways; it's minutes away from Gatineau, Quebec. Ottawa is a large cosmopolitan city which is reknown for its role as the Federal Capital of Canada. Ottawa is also known as a clean and pretty city. Its breathtaking beauty is created by an abundance of trees, gardens, parks and green spaces. Located just outside of Ottawa there are many small towns and cities. This area is known as the Ottawa Valley.
As the Capital City of Canada, Ottawa is well known for its historical landmarks, Parliament Hill, national museums, sites, and seasonal attractions. This city boasts many natural scenic settings of rivers, waterways and bicycle paths. There are many outstanding public gardens which add colour and brilliance to this impressive urban cityscape. Ottawa is truly a city of colour. In the early Spring, the arrival of crocuses and daffodils on Parliament Hill delight tourists and local residents alike. In early May one can take a stroll through the stunning displays of millions of tulips decorating many different sections of the city. In the Spring and early Summer months, taking a walk through the Ornamental Gardens at the Federal Experimental Farm will romance your senses with the beauty of apple blossoms trees and the fragrance of lilacs. Many local residents have their wedding photos taken amidst this enthralling vista.
The National Capital Commission maintains 90 flower beds located at over 30 different sites within the city. In the Summer months, the tulips are replaced by a breathtaking sea of annual blooms. Canada's Capital Region is also ablaze with colour in the Fall. A drive or hike through Gatineau Park is a must. The natural pristine beauty of this seemingly endless park is heightened with the red, rust, orange and yellow foliage of the frost bitten deciduous trees which are set against the green glory of the walls and walls of coniferous vegetation.
Ottawa is home to many of our national museums and monuments. There are any number of exhibitions and collections you can visit at the Museum of Civilization, the War Museum and the Aviation Museum. The Science and Technology Museum with its baby chicks being hatched and crooked kitchen is always a favourite for kids! Another great location to visit with the kids is the National Gallery of Canada. There are many fun and interactive displays that delight young and old alike. And of course taking a guided tour through the history rich Parliament Buildings is a must for every new visitor to Ottawa!
Ottawa is a city of celebration, offering visitors a year-round calendar of festivals and special events. It all starts with Winterlude, North America's best known winter festival which is held the first three weekends of February. Many visitors travel to Ottawa during Winterlude to skate on the Rideau Canal. Located in the heart of the city, this canal becomes one of the worlds longest skating rinks. In May, the Canadian Tulip Festival brings people out by the dozens to enjoy the return of warm weather as millions of tulips bloom in beds across the Capital. The summer months are celebrated with the Ottawa International Jazz Festival, Ottawa Bluesfest and the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival. Canada Day, which is celebrated on the 1st of July, is the country's largest annual birthday party. Many events are held right on the grounds of Parliament Hill. At Christmas, millions of lights are glowing on Parliament Hill and other federal buildings to celebrate the Christmas Lights Across Canada event.
