Capital City Grandeur; Local lore
Ottawa, Ontario
Ottawa summers are meant for walking. Pedestrian friendly streets, hills covered in flowers and everything from gourmet restaurants to neighbourhood pubs encourage relaxation.

With a backdrop of architecturally stunning buildings Canada's capital city beckons travelers looking for diverse experiences. Watch the changing of the guard in the morning. Engage in authentic Aboriginal experiences in the afternoon. Then pop into the Byward market and bring "Obama cookies" back for the team.

Bike, walk, run, roll. Ottawa offers a choice of paths and parks to make your summer outing memorable. Or hit the waterways instead. Canoe or kayak along the river. Or take on a class 5 rapid and teach your team what it means to really work together.

Marvel at the city's 19th century architecture. Sail the 1000 islands. Golf in a city ranked as one of the five best to golf in. Tour a historic home and bump into Canada's first Prime Minister. Or go slow and paddle a portion of the UNESCO Heritage Rideau Canal Route.

Head up to Algonquin Park where stargazing and marshmallow roasting are the most taxing parts of the day. Hike in the woods, your bear bell clanging behind you to warn of your approach. Wake each morning to views that remind you of why you love the great outdoors.
