A visit to Canada must include a trip to its capital, Ottawa. A burgeoning lumber town of the 19th-century frontier that is now home to one of the largest multicultural societies in the world, this city has everything to offer, for families, group and solo travelers alike.

Canada is known for being a friendly and welcoming nation, with some of the most beautiful natural sights in the world, and no other place embodies that message like its historic capital, Ottawa.
