Activities/Attractions: The federal capital of Ottawa is situated on the south bank of the Ottawa River facing the French-speaking city of Hull in Québec. The imposing Gothic-style Parliament Buildings overlook the confluence of the Ottawa, Rideau and Gatineau Rivers and are surmounted by the 92m (302ft) Peace Tower, affording a panoramic view of the city and its surroundings. Guided tours are available. The colourful Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place here daily in July and August.
With its acres of greenery, Ottawa has an almost park like atmosphere in summer. In spring the gardens are ablaze with the tulips that commemorate Canada's aid to Holland during World War II. In autumn the surrounding Gatineau Hills light up with colour, and in winter Parliament Hill towers on its imposing bluffs above the frosty river like a guardian of civilization. Popular attractions include:
- Confederation Square, site of the National War
Memorial, is the focal point of downtown Ottawa
- The National Arts Centre, a hexagonal complex on the
banks of the Rideau Canal, houses an opera company, theatres,
studios and restaurants
- The Rideau Canal and the Rideau-Trent-Severn Waterway
are part of a complex of recreational lakes and canals linking
Ottawa to Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay
- Outstanding among the city's many museums are the
National Art Gallery, the National Museum of Science and Technology
and the Museum of Civilisation
- The Parliament Buildings, which are 20 minutes light
walk from this guest house, set high on a hill overlooking the
Ottawa River, are the focus of the city
- Wander through the streets and stalls of the market,
cruise along the city's interconnecting rivers and canals -
everywhere you go you can see the soaring spire of the Peace
Tower
