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.
