Ottawa Essentials

Ottawa’s landscape is defined by the neo-Gothic spires of Parliament Hill and the historic Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This collection features the city's most significant cultural institutions, including the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum. Highlights include the bustling ByWard Market, the ornate Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, and the official residence at Rideau Hall. From the natural history exhibits at the Museum of Nature to the architectural grandeur of the Fairmont Château Laurier, these landmarks represent Canada’s political and cultural heart.
