Little Italy

Sparks Street
Sparks Street is still lined with a variety of businesses that are especially busy during weekdays and special events. Dine at restaurants like the refined Riviera and have a pint at pubs like the aptly named D’Arcy McGee’s. Find specialty souvenirs at The Snow Goose Gallery, and shop for jewelry, fashion and more.
Byward Market
Locavores, fashionistas and merrymakers love the pedestrian-friendly and historic ByWard Market neighbourhood. The area is bursting with so many unique boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants and bars that you’ll need to make return trips to Ottawa’s oldest, most-concentrated neighbourhood!
Diefenbunker Museum
A relic of the Cold War, this 4-storey underground bunker was the epicentre of Canada’s defense against nuclear attack. Now a National Historic Site, this atomic-age artifact reminds us that we once teetered at the brink of global annihilation, but cooler heads prevailed. Today, we remember these lessons of peaceful resolution and preserve them for future generations through year-round exhibitions, programs and events that offer visitors of all ages a chilling glimpse into Canada’s past. Tours of this unique facility take visitors through recreations of government work spaces, living quarters and cryptographic areas.
