Ottawa vacation tips

Ottawa is worth a trip. We have been to the capital of Canada several times and got to know it in summer and winter. In the summer months, trips along the rivers and the Rideau Canal are just as worthwhile as the sights in the city. In winter we recommend the museums. Among them are many of the top museums in Canada. It's also a great experience Winterlude Festival, which takes place in February every year. There is always something new to discover on an Ottawa vacation.
