About Ottawa

As the Capital of Canada, Ottawa offers Canadians and visitors from around the world national attractions not found anywhere else.

It is a destination which celebrates the nation's history and achievements, its cultural diversity and immense natural beauty. Nestled at the junction of three picturesque rivers, Ottawa is considered one of the world's most beautiful capitals. The city also borders the province of Québec, creating a dynamic cultural milieu in which both French and English cultures are deeply rooted. The result is a truly cosmopolitan experience - a North American city with a distinctly European charm and flair in a safe, clean and spectacular environment.

Ottawa offers to visitors a large selection of touristic activities and outdoor leisure. From more than twelve world-renowned museums and galleries, to international culture and world-class entertainment, there is much to discover.
