Ottawa is strategically located on <strong>the</strong> banks in <strong>the</strong> Ottawa River. It delivers an ideal backdrop for<br />
different water activities for instance canoeing, kayaking and boat riding. The Rideau Canal,<br />
especially, is actually a favorite among tourists. This canal winding by means <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> heart in <strong>the</strong> <strong>city</strong><br />
was aptly declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<br />
If you fancy seeing <strong>the</strong> <strong>city</strong> when gliding through <strong>the</strong> waterway, you can go board one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> many<br />

is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> biggest public markets in <strong>the</strong> country. It <strong>of</strong>fers nearly everything, from fresh generate<br />
to signature fashion pieces. You can find also a lot <strong>of</strong> al fresco cafes and gourmet restaurants inside<br />

quarter hour. Also, be around <strong>the</strong> lookout for <strong>the</strong> every day free concert performances <strong>of</strong>fered by<br />
<strong>the</strong> Dominion Carilloneur. In case you come about to be inside <strong>the</strong> area during Christmas season,<br />
