Ottawa is not only the capital of Canada but a great travel destination in its own right. Sometimes a little passed over by tourists anxious to make their way to the larger cities of Montreal or Toronto, it nevertheless has a lot to offer. Many people come to see the Parliament Buildings, where the Canadian government carries on its business, and the style and history surrounding this part of the city make it a memorable trip for those who do choose to visit. The variety of attractions on offer in the city means that you will probably want to stay for a while, and if so then you’re in luck; as the hotels Ottawa has are of high quality and can provide you with everything from palatial five star blocks to homey family run inns. You’ll be glad of the warmth in the depths of the freezing Canadian winters, and grateful for the air conditioning in the sometimes surprisingly hot summer months!
