أبرز ما فيها

Are you looking for a way to explore Ottawa at your own pace? On this self-guided audio tour, you will relive Ottawa‘s turbulent early history when rioters and rogues ran rampant. Ottawa‘s significance extends beyond its Houses of Parliament and famous museums. Before becoming Canada‘s capital, it was a rough, lawless place in the wilderness. On this walking tour through old Bytown, you’ll trace the city’s evolution from a small lumber town to Queen Victoria‘s choice as Canada‘s capital and discover Ottawa‘s hidden backstory. You'll stroll down York Street and learn about the early days of the iconic Byward Market. Ottawa‘s past will come to life in the serene Jeanne d‘Arc Courtyard, where you‘ll hear about the religious and spatial divisions that fueled the feuding Bytown residents. On Sussex Drive, you‘ll explore popular sites from new perspectives and travel back to when rogues, rioters, and disease made the streets unsafe.

About Ottawa

Ottawa, Canada's capital, stands on the Ottawa River with Gothic towers on Parliament Hill, a historic canal and a string of national museums.

Parliament Hill rises above the Ottawa River, its Gothic Revival towers topped by the Peace Tower and its carillon. Below it the Rideau Canal, opened in 1832 and now a World Heritage Site, winds through the city, and in winter its frozen surface becomes a skating route several kilometres long. Nearby are the ByWard Market, the National Gallery of Canada, with a giant spider sculpture outside its glass pavilion, and the twin-spired Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica.
