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 cosmopolitain experience-North American city with a distinctly European charm and flair. Ottawa presents visitors with a wide selection of sightseeing and outdoor leisure options. In fact with more than a dozen national museums and galleries-and full calendar of festivals and activities-Canadas Capital Region has something for everyone.
The seat of Canada’s federal government, Ottawa is a major centre for the visual and performing arts. Yet the city retains the accessibility, atmosphere and charm of a smaller centre—rich in wide-open green spaces, parks and wilderness areas.
