A tour of Ottawa's history and culture

#Register for May Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 Ottawa, the capital of Canada, has rich historical and cultural resources. I visited Capitol Hill to get a feel for the nation’s political heartland. The National Gallery houses a large collection of local and international art, which is well worth a visit. A cruise on the Rideau Canal is a peaceful, leisurely, scenic journey. In winter, the canal turns into the world's largest natural ice rink, attracting many tourists. Ottawa combines history and modernity, making it an ideal city for learning about Canadian history and culture.
