Ottawa is Canada’s charming capital city and the fourth largest urban center in the country. The winding Ottawa River is what essentially forms the border between Ontario and Québec . The city of Gatineau lies on the other side of the river and although these cities are formally in two separate provinces, the two cities are considered a part of the same metropolitan area – The National Capital Region. Ottawa is considered one of the world’s most beautiful capitals. As the city borders the province of Québec, it has created a mixed cultural environment in which both French and English cultures are deeply rooted. The result is a low key cosmopolitan feel—a North American city with a distinct European charm and flair.

The city of Ottawa is a charismatic, yet modest metropolis. The focus in town is Parliament Hill; however this political town is filled with a vibrant energy thanks to the nationally renowned universities present there, ushering in some of the country’s brightest youth. Whether your interest is culture, history or simply natural outdoor attractions, Canada’s Capital city offers a unique combination of both.
