Canada's capital, Ottawa, is a vibrant city where you can discover the country's proud heritage at an impressive lineup of national museums, landmarks, and stunning architecture. Rich with history, culture and prestigious educational institutions, Ottawa's centrepiece is Parliament Hill, the home of Canada's federal government and the heartbeat of Canadian politics. Ottawa is also home to seven of the nine national museums of Canada. The Canadian Museum of History is Canada's most-visited museum, which presents the events, people and objects that have shaped the nation. Visit the Canadian War Museum and discover Canada's rich military history through artifacts, personal accounts, works or art, photographs and interactive exhibits.

Ottawa has an amazing foodie scene to explore and enjoy. The Byward Market in particular is known for its local artisans and speciality food shops, producers and restaurants. The very first Beavertail kiosk, a famous Canadian pastry served with a variety of toppings, and a true Canadian tradition that originated in Ontario stands at Byward Market.

The city is also easily accessible by plane, train, or car; and conveniently located for an array of day tours into picturesque towns and stunning natural beauty, such as the 1000 Islands, Mont Tremblant, and Gatineau Park.
