Things To Do
Parliament Hill
Alright we know this is cliche, but we also know you all have a crush on our Prime Minister, so check it out!It's the seat of Canada's federal government. Each morning is the changing of the guard and each night at 9:00PM there is an awesome Sound and Light show (ends September 8th).
Byward Market
Great restaurantts, patio's, bars, shopping (check out Rideau Centre) and most importantly BEAVER TAILS - an absolute must try and Canadian staple..... no they are not real beaver!
Rideau Canal
A historic waterway filled with boaters. Take a stroll or try out a cruise!
Nordik Spa-Nature
Our ABSOLUTE favorite place to relax! Outdoor baths, saunas and waterfalls located ten minutes from downtown! Plan to spend at least a few hours there!
Tim Hortons
Yes, this needs to be on here because you're going to need cofee at some point this weekend. Instead of your typical Starbucks run let Timmy's show you how its really done.
Stella Luna Gelato Cafe
BEST gelato in Ottawa hands down!
The King Eddy
Sometimes you just need a good burger. We love this downtown diner! However, if you're looking for downtown fine dining check out: Riviera, Fairouz, El Camino, Town or Bekta
Canadian Museum of Nature / Musée canadien de la nature
Ottawa boasts some impressive museums and galleries. This is one of the top. Also check out Canadian War Museum, Canadian Museum of History and the National Gallery of Canada
