| Ottawa Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Parliament Hill from Gatineau Parliament Hill from Gatineau Daniel N. Sloan Ottawa is Canada's capital, and it is a city well worth a visit. For a current view of the Parliament Buildings, visit Parliament Hill. Ottawa has been described as one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. Less than an hour's drive from the American border, Ottawa enjoys the attributes of a major centre for the visual and performing arts, as well as other big city attractions. Yet, it still maintains the accessibility, atmosphere and charm of a smaller city, in addition to access to spectacular park and wilderness areas located within and around the city. _______Sights Edit This Peace Tower on Parliament Hill Peace Tower on Parliament Hill Joseph Hollick [Add Sight] "Aboriginal Experiences" Edit This Guided tour of native village.

The city's major advantage is that the downtown core is very compact and many of the sites and attractions are accessible on foot. Guided sightseeing tours, many of which operate on a schedule with flexible "on-off" privileges, allow visitors to stop and see the attractions of their choice. Sightseeing can be done via a walking tour, on an air-conditioned coach, a motorized trolley or on an authentic British double-decker bus. To experience the city up-close, visitors can rent a bicycle and pedal along Ottawa's designated bike lanes and scenic paths; or, pamper themselves and hire a rickshaw. Boat cruises along the Rideau Canal, Rideau River or Ottawa River are also a good way to see the sights. From May until October, train buffs can enjoy a half day trip along the beautiful Gatineau River on one of Canada's last authentic steam-powered trains; the steam train is the only one of its kind still operating in eastern Canada. Ottawa also boasts one of the most modern public transit systems in North America. As well, there are many taxi and car rental firms available to transport visitors around the town. For tourists in town and out using their own vehicles, they can relax - traffic in and around the capital is light and it's easy to get around. The City-funded public transportation system, OC Transpo, consists of an extensive bus system and a single light-rail line. The Transitway is OC Transpo's backbone; it is a network of bus-only roads that cross the city, offering high-speed and traffic-free connections. Thus, a ride from the airport to downtown takes only 20 minutes. The light-rail line, known as the O-Train, was built as a transit experiment and is consequently a short route; its main use is to serve Carleton University. That said, the city is planning a major expansion of the light-rail system over the next decade. OC Transpo is relatively inexpensive. Fares on busses are generally $3.00 cash or two 95¢ tickets available at many bus stations and area stores (busses that run to more rural locations have higher fares). A child's fare is $1.50 or one 95¢ ticket. A transfer can be requested at no additional charge, offering unlimited travel on both bus and train in any direction until the time printed (around two hours). A Daypass, $6 when pre-purchased at a vendor or $7.50 when purchased on the bus, allows unlimited travel all day. The O-Train tickets are purchased at automated terminals for $2.25 (95¢ tickets are not valid on the O-Train); these also offer unlimited transfers on both bus and train for about two hours. The OC Transpo system links up with Gatineau's STO bus system in downtown Ottawa. Transfers from either system allow travel on the other; however, a small supplement is sometimes needed to transfer from the OC Transpo to STO system. ___________Day Trips Edit This fun fun fun fun fun fun mb Rafting / kayak / Xpeditions www.horizonx.ca 1-866 69 kayak info@horizonx.ca full moon rafting, 1 and 2 day rafting, kayaking initiation specialists, Ottawa River Canada, camping and mountain top cabins overlooking the river. aprox. 80 km from the nations capital ________Festivals Edit This photo Ottawa has several internationally renowned annual festivals.

Parlamento Canadese, Ottawa Ottawa è la capitale federale del Canada, nonché terza città per popolazione dello stato nordamericano, dopo Toronto e Montreal, con 808.391 abitanti (1.146.790 nell'area metropolitana cittadina). Fondata all'inizio del XIX secolo col nome di ByTown, durante il periodo coloniale inglese, fu dichiarata capitale ufficiale del Canada nel 1857 dalla regina britannica Vittoria. Oggi Ottawa si distingue per essere il fulcro della vita politica canadese, in quanto sede di governo e parlamento dello stato. Tra le sue maggiori attrazioni vi è senz'altro la cosiddetta "collina del parlamento" (Parliament Hill), ove si riuniscono camera e senato, nonché il quartiere centrale, conosciuto come ByWard Market. Ad Ottawa, ogni primo luglio, si svolgono inoltre i festeggiamenti principali del Canada Day, la festa nazionale canadese, in cui si celebra la promulgazione della costituzione del paese nordamericano. Ottawa, sebbene facente parte del territorio della provincia dell'Ontario, si trova esattamente al confine con la municipalità di Gatineau, nel francofono Quebec, da cui è divisa dal fiume che prende il nome della città capitale, e assieme a cui supera il milione di abitanti; ciò si rispecchia anche nella vita di tutti i giorni, con un forte bilinguismo che ne è senz'altro un elemento particolarmente caratterizzante. Ad oggi Ottawa si sta espandendo anche come importante metropoli commerciale e direzionale, nonché nelle nuove tecnologie e nell'informatica, con la Corel avente il proprio quartier generale proprio nella capitale. È anche sede di due università (University of Ottawa e Carleton University), nonché di un aeroporto internazionale.
