Downtown Ottawa is the central area of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Itβs sometimes referred to as the Central Business District and contains Ottawaβs financial district. Bordered by the Ottawa River to the north, the Rideau Canal to the east, Gloucester Street to the south, and Bronson Avenue to the west, itβs a vibrant hub where history, culture, and natural beauty converge1. Here are some highlights you might want to explore:
Parliament Hill: The seat of Canadaβs federal government and the setting for national celebrations year-round. Guided tours are free and include visits to the Senate, House of Commons, East Block, and βParliament: The Immersive Experienceβ (be sure to reserve tickets in advance).
National Cultural Attractions: Ottawa boasts museums and galleries that showcase the best of Canada. The National Gallery of Canada features world-class art, and the Canadian War Museum offers a dramatic experience.
ByWard Market: A historic farmersβ market and shopping district by day, it transforms into a lively area with restaurants and clubs at night. Located just east of Parliament Hill, itβs a must-visit neighborhood.
UNESCO Rideau Canal: This historic waterway winds through Ottawa, connecting with the Ottawa River through stepped locks next to Parliament Hill. In winter, it becomes the worldβs largest naturally frozen skating rink.
Outdoor Adventures: Try whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Ottawa River, or explore the 800 kilometers (497 miles) of recreational pathways for cycling enthusiasts.
Festivals: Ottawa hosts year-round celebrations, including the Canadian Tulip Festival in May, Canada Day on July 1, music festivals like the Ottawa Jazz Festival, and Winterlude (with the Rideau Canal Skateway).
Culinary Scene: The cityβs culinary scene is thriving, with diverse restaurants and talented chefs. Consider booking a dining tour or exploring food shops and markets with guided gourmet food tours.
