Visit Ottawa

We just came back last Thursday and are planning for the next trip (today is Tuesday after we came back). Do I need to say more about how we love Ottawa :D P.S. Everything & everywhere is so easy to find and explore even we are a senior couple so find out yourself of how lovely Ottawa is.

We made the mistake of going to Ottawa in April as many places were closed until May. We made the most of it and went to other museums and were so pleased. The Diefenbunker was incredible and I highly recommend that as a MUST visit! Beautiful days made for great walks- city is safe and clean. Exceptional restaurants. Will visit again- in the summer!

I loved Ottawa! Such a clean and friendly city. It's a little quiet at times and in certain areas, but just make sure to look for the lively areas like Byward Market, Westboro/Hintonburg, and Bank Street. Transit is pretty good. Lots of great restaurants.

A city full of fascinating museums and government-related buildings, many of which you can tour. Ottawa originally wasn't really on my destination list (a friend told me that stopping over for 1 day would be enough), but surprisingly I spent 3 days in the city and feel like I still had plenty left to see. You can tour buildings on Parliament Hill for free with advance reservation (eg: House of Commons, House of Lords, Supreme Court). There are also a lot of excellent museums like the Ingenium (science), Canadian Museum of History just across the river in Gatineau, National Gallery of Canada (art), and Royal Canadian Mint, just to name a few. A great place to learn more about Canada, what it means to be Canadian, and gain a lot of cultural and sociological insights.

As I said earlier, my trip to Ottawa was expensive. Wanted to add in the ticket and then having to walk. I do have a severe back problem and I have a handicap sticker in my window and I still got $125 ticket.

I loved Ottawa and I can contrast it with Montreal (which I did not like that much). Ottawa is a bit smaller, a bit cleaner, a bit streamline (aka you can find things much easier) and everybody speaks English (unlike Montreal)... PS. If you like history or tanks, I recommend the Canadian War Museum...
