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 />

cruise and pleasure craft readily available within <strong>the</strong> area. The Rideau Canal is also anything to<br />

behold during winter because it transforms in to <strong>the</strong> world's largest naturally frozen skating rink.


To people that want a taste <strong>of</strong> Canadian purchasing, Byward Market place may be <strong>the</strong> place to go. It<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 />

<strong>the</strong> area. Watch for secluded cobblestone squares to experience <strong>the</strong> old-world marketplace charm.<br />

Parliament Hill can also be worth seeing when you are in Ottawa. It <strong>of</strong>fers a dramatic view on <strong>the</strong><br />

Ottawa River and also <strong>the</strong> imposing Parliament buildings make for a great photo chance. Moreover,<br />

it displays numerous gargoyles and reliefs intricately carved on <strong>the</strong> buildings stonework. Watch out<br />

for <strong>the</strong> sound on <strong>the</strong> 53-bell carillon inside <strong>the</strong> Peace Tower when <strong>the</strong> clock strikes <strong>the</strong> following<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 />

you can't miss <strong>the</strong> magnificent exhibition <strong>of</strong> thousands upon a huge number <strong>of</strong> Christmas lights<br />

stunningly displayed across <strong>the</strong> hill.<br />

Situated just minutes in <strong>the</strong> Parliament Hill is <strong>the</strong> 361 square kilometer expanse with <strong>the</strong> Gatineau<br />

Park. It functions many nature trails that wind by way <strong>of</strong> forests, lakes and scenic viewpoints. For <strong>the</strong><br />

duration <strong>of</strong> warm months, visitors can select from numerous fascinating activities for example<br />

cycling, hiking, swimming and camping while cross-country and downhill skiing will be <strong>the</strong> favourite<br />

activities for <strong>the</strong> duration <strong>of</strong> winter.<br />

For probably <strong>the</strong> most picturesque scenery, I highly recommend taking a look at Canada's<br />

extraordinary geological formations, <strong>the</strong> Canadian Shield along with <strong>the</strong> St. Lawrence Lowlands,<br />

from Champlain Lookout at Eardely Escarpment. To those that are working on a budget, you will be<br />

glad to know that admission to Gatineau Park is free <strong>of</strong> charge.<br />
