Ottawa

Ottawa lies along the Ottawa River, on Ontario’s southern bank opposite the Quebec city of Gatineau. Canada’s capital is defined by Parliament Hill, whose Gothic Revival buildings overlook the water and house the federal legislature. The Rideau Canal crosses the city to meet the river; opened in 1832, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, in winter, part of it becomes a public skating route. At its northern end, a flight of locks joins the canal to the river beside Parliament Hill. The National Gallery of Canada and the Canadian Museum of History across the river underline Ottawa’s national cultural role.
