And it's an ideal choice for a weekend getaway because you can see so much in a short time. Start downtown at the architecturally stunning National Gallery of Canada. Other fine museums, like the Canadian Nature Museum and the National Aviation Museum, await. The Gothic Revival-style buildings of Parliament Hill convey the political stature. A free, guided tour of the main building offers information on both the present-day government and important historical events. While Ottawa does have its fair share of lofty attractions, there are also lots of ways to kick back and have fun. The lovely Rideau Canal, which cuts through the city, offers boating in the summer and ice-skating in the winter. Gatineau Park is always buzzing with cyclists, walkers and benchwarmers. For an eclectic mix of old and new Ottawa, stop by the Byward Market. Whether you're in town for a few hours or a few days, Ottawa offers a gratifying taste of Canadian culture and hospitality. « less

We booked the hotel online at an internet user fee of 95$ for a Tuesday night. We didn't expect a jacuzzi but at least a clean, comfortable room. What happened at our arrival was a real joke. The...more

Cardinal Suites is a independently-owned hotel (the owner lives on the second floor) that doesn't have a whole lot of frills, but gets the job done for a good price. It's not downtown, but then again...more
