Ottawa - Beautiful Capital of Canada

by victorwkf - last update: Apr 30, 2006

The city of Ottawa, Canada
Ottawa is a beautiful and relaxing city which is located on the border of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec of Canada, seperated by the Ottawa River. Being the capital city of Canada, it houses many political monuments as well as museums. Other than these, the city has some beautiful scenery as well.

I had a chance to visit Ottawa in Nov 2005 for a meeting and took the opportunity to explore the city. It was a very long journey for me as I was literally staying on the other side of the world (in Singapore). Nevertheless, I enjoyed my trip to Ottawa and would like to share with you some experiences and photographs, which I hope will be useful to you.
This photograph shows the historical buildings of Parliament Hill with the Ottawa River on the foreground. It is taken at the viewing point just behind the Supreme Court, which offers fantastic views.
Besides the impressive exterior, the interior architecture of the famous buildings at Parliament Hill is very impressive, an example is shown in this photograph

 I found this place completely unremarkable and over-priced. The food was decent, but that's it. Can definitely find better for the money.

 Interesting to read your Ottawa page. Somehow I am the Ottawa tip grouper, but I have not been to Ottawa in about 20 years. Must have been warm in Nov 05 that the canal was not frozen.
