Ottawa has lots of historical attractions, lots of nice picture-taking sites, and lots of nice accomodations, when you find them. There are quite a bit of nice restaurants in Ottawa and there is a particularly nice market, ByWard Market.
Ottawa is a place to consider visiting.

To be honest, I enjoyed going around Ottawa. It's a small place compared to other Canadian cities like Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal. There're many magnificent buildings portraying the Canadian heritage. I especially enjoyed visiting Parliamentary Hill in the center of the city. The organization of tours and trips around Parliamentary ...

Two business trips to Ottawa in the past year. As the Capital, it has many national treasures in the form of museums, public art, and government buildings (architecture). Interesting shopping opportunities. The canal adds to the beauty in the summer and recreational options once in freezes over in the winter.

Ottawa is an okay place to visit, but honestly there is really nothing special about the place.

Gatineau Park is located 10 minutes from downtown Ottawa,and is wilderness untouched.We saw a doe the other day,it didn't even run away until my 3 year old son started to chase her.

It is a nice place to visit in the winter! Great sleding. And everyone needs to check out the Rideau Canal....the longest skating rink in the world! And have to go to a maple farm like Sugar Bush! Get to make your own maple sucker, in fresh snow!
