There is so much
to see and do in Canada's capital city, and, after all, tastes and interests do
vary. We recommend that you drop by the Capital Infocentre for help in
planning your itinerary and, while you're there, take in their excellent
multi-media show, Footloose in the Capital.
Perched as a
crown on a hill
overlooking the Ottawa River, the architectural beauty of the Canadian Parliament
Buildings is a sight to behold! Tour the grand chambers and hallowed halls of
these beautiful, historically significant buildings and enjoy the many artifacts
that detail the history of Parliament Hill. Several tours are available: Discover
the Hill Outdoor Program and the In the Footsteps of Great Canadians
are entertaining as well as educating.

Want something
different? Go down to the Rideau Canal, which winds its way through Ottawa as
its centerpiece, and visit the Dows Lake Pavilion, a year-round recreational
center. Here you can rent bicycles, in-line skates, paddle boats, canoes and
kayaks and enjoy being alive. Oh, it's winter ... each winter season the Rideau
Canal becomes the world's longest ice skating rink.
