I suggest Hog's Back, and there's a whole bunch of nature trails to walk along. We've hit three of the nature trails in the last month. There's Dow's Lake, Vincent Massey Park, the Experimental Farm, there's the Rideau Museum, and down at the locks there, you can also get a boat tour of the Ottawa River, and there's also the boat tour of the Rideau Canal which you can get across from the Rideau Mall. The Experimental Farm has lovely gardens and paths around it, Carleton University has the butterfly house. The Glebe has many interesting shops and stores and the RCMP's Parade is done over in Vanier.
To any visitors: don’t be afraid to ask any local for help on anything. Although we may leave people alone for the most part, we will always be happy to help when asked.
thats so true, one day i was just sitting on the floor in tremblay station (as one does) and the guy asked how to get to rideau and i helped, its a very nice feeling.
This Yank is hoping to come to Ottawa in 2023 as I try to visit all the major cities from Winnipeg to Halifax. I have had such enjoyable experiences in every Canadian city so far and I can see there is a lot waiting for me in Ottawa. Love our Canadian neighbors!!!
Ottawa really is a museum lover's paradise. I never realized how stunning Canada's Parliament buildings are. I would love too see the inside too someday. Major's Hill park looked like a great place to relax or go for a jog while taking in some beautiful scenery. Great video that definitely makes us want to pay Ottawa a visit someday.
I'm suddenly trying to remember the places I visited when I was in Ottawa. Bummer I wasn't able to visit the Bank of Canada Museum. I was able to visit the Parliament building and it was Spring when we visited but there were snow all over. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat again to visit the Rideau falls and the Mackenzie King Estate and to explore more.
I would certainly use this video as a guide should i have the privilege of visiting Ottawa Canada. Very clear and interesting facts and variety of places to visit. Well edited. 👍 🎥 🌷 🙋♀️
As a Ottawa local, you missed the Glebe and Landsdowne area. Great farmers marker every Sunday there and lots of patios while also being by the canal. Westboro is also great with tons of great food and coffee. Suzy Q doughnuts and the Merry Dairy ice cream are also a must to try!
Ottawa looks like such a beautiful city! I've heard such great things about it and hope we can road trip up there from Boston someday soon. I hear it's really cool in the winter too! Rideau Falls looked gorgeous and will def stop at Byward Market for some good beer and food!
That is cool the court house is giving virtual tours right now. Oh wow, I would love to go to Parliament Hill. The buildings looks so cool. I loved the Ottawa sign where you can pose as the T. I love all of these recommendations!
I have never been to Canada, so your video has been pretty useful to get all these infos. You are really good, both at filming and at explaining what to see and where to go. Brava!
#11. The Food. Yep. If you come to Ottawa, plan to visit a lot of places to eat. Ottawa has a whole slew of excellent restaurants and diners, as well as plenty of fry trucks.
Awesome video! One of my favourite things I've done in Ottawa was attend the Tulip Festival in May, it was stunning. It looks like that will be open to those from out of town again in 2022.
My family lived in Ottawa for 3-1/2 years, my father worked at the US Embassy which at the time was located directly across from the parliament building. I got off school one day to meet him at work so we could both take the bus home. A businessman left his briefcase next to the centennial flame and the bomb squad was called in to remove it. It was blown up and papers went everywhere. Definitely one of my favorite memories living in Canada.
I haven't been to Ottawa and now it's definitely on my list of places to go. Wow, there are so many museums and the street art is super cool. I really love the art on the stair treads. Rideau Canal is beautiful...I can't believe it transforms into a huge skating rink! I'm all about the food and craft beer though. The brunch you guys ate with the jerk chicken looks delicious!!
Parliament Hill seems really cool. That means the flame has been lit over 50 years. That’s pretty cool. The manor looks impressive. The Alexandra Bridge lookout would be really cool to see!
I haven't visited Ottawa. I hope that I can plan a trip there soon after the pandemic to explore these beautiful places. Such an informative video! Thanks so much for sharing. That Parliament Hill looks great to have my photos taken with, haha.
This seems to be such a nice place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job!
I'm living in Ottawa currently. So, I can also recommend "Princess Louis Falls" at St Joseph Blvd and Petrie Island. Both are in Orleans, only 25 min from downtown Ottawa. Good video, thank you
Normally I would not give a thumbs down for a clip like this, but this time I got to tell you I don’t think any of the poster on CZcams did Ottawa any justice at all. I was so depressed after watching all the videos on “what to do in Ottawa” that I was dreading going, but I went anyway, WHAT A SURPRISE this city is just full of things to do, places to shop, great restaurants, tours and more, even if you’re a person looking to party (not me) there’s plenty going on. I highly recommend you add Ottawa Quebec Canada 🇨🇦 to your list of “things to do in Canada”
Beaver! Wicked spider sculpture! Wayne did a Le Boat cruise on the Rideau Canal with his good friend four years ago come May; he loved it! That Jamaican bunny(?) looks SOOO yummy!
I "butt dialed" to this video and i was just saying i want to go on a trip, crazy how coincidence works but definitely putting this in my top 10 places to visit
Never seen Ottawa before. Looks so fun to explore the river is so scenic and I really fo love those big city name blocks. So cool you guys had a car and could go check out that super awesome waterfall. Wow!
Parliament Hill is undergoing a 10-year rehabilitation project. If you visit the city and are planning to take a tour of the parliament buildings, you might be disappointed. Do some research ahead of time to find out the status of public access to the grounds.
Wow, for museum lovers Ottawa is the place to go for sure, 7 out of 9 national museums is a high ratio. Also have to find the Sparks Street to validate our visit with a picture :) Rideau Falls is so beautiful, added to our list! Shakshuka eggs and some beer would be great to have right about now :)
Ottawa looks so beautiful! Love the views from Parliament hill and the walkway next to the canal...so amazing that if freezes over and forms a skateway 😁 The market is definitely a place we would visit 😅
The parliament building is very impressive - as are the others actually. Wow. Looks like a really interesting city. The McKenzie King Estate does look like a really great spot to visit, especially now when it's best to be outdoors.
Parliament Hill looks amazing, some great buildings around the square, and some good views over the rivers and city. The Rideau Canal is beautiful as well, but I won't walk the full 200km though... With so many hikes and parks around the place it seems as a must. But I miss the brewery in your itinerary or at least I thought and of course you finished with this.
Never been to Canada. Would love to visit Ottawa someday. Your recommended list looks like amazing places to visit. The sparks street would be our favorite 🤩
Ottawa looks and sounds so beautiful, the places you showed us were so beautiful! Can't believe how many museums there are. Ah with my background of law I would absolutely love to visit the Supreme Court of Canada. We have a friend that moved from South Africa and lives in Canada and we are absolutely dying to go and visit and see all these beautiful places. Thanks for giving us ideas for when we go there one day
It's a great city, and I wish we could have gone inside the court. I always wanted to be a lawyer growing up...still kind of do 🤣 You should definitely visit your friend and take in some of the Canadian attractions 👌
Ottawa looks really cool, although that spider monument is pretty terrifying! 😅 It looks like such a beautiful sunny weekend away, you look like you had some great food during your stay. The sandwiches looked great for lunch! Loved Rideau Falls, that view looked so pretty then the wraps and onion rings looked pretty good too!
Really great tips! I've been to Ottawa a few times, but haven't checked out a lot of things on your list. By far, my favourite is skating on the Rideau in the winter and eating beavertails ☺
Can you please do a Vancouver and surrounding areas in the lower mainland for average tourists 🙏😁 Sorry this is a re-edit beacuse I just found Own you did about Vancouver. Thanks so much ❤️
How To Seem Like A Local In Ottawa If you are visiting a city, you don't want to walk around looking like some tourist. You want to blend in, right? Well, here are some tips on how to blend and seem like a local, when visiting the Ottawa. - Smoke. Tobacco, mostly, but what you smoke is less important than the act of smoking. Make sure to do it on bus platforms and as close to doorways and "No Smoking 9 Meters" signs as possible. Those signs are just there for laughs. Smoking bylaws are not enforced in Ottawa at all. Tucking a smoke behind your ear for later will also let people know that you smoke, even if you are smoking right now, and bringing a snuffed-out half cigarette on the bus in your pocket is perfectly acceptable. - Meander. In most cities, people kind of stay to the right to let pedestrian traffic flow smoothly. Not in Ottawa. The sidewalks are wide, so you need to explore them. Walk slower than other people, stop often for no reason, and drift back and forth, left and right, as you go, looking at your phone the whole time. - Stop short. When walking through a mall or on the sidewalk, just stop dead for no reason so other people can crash into your back. It is a great way to meet new people. - If you are carrying a closed umbrella make sure to carry it like a spear at your side and swing your arm a lot as you walk. If you have one of those little collapsable umbrellas, swing it around like an old-timey police baton. - When getting off of a bus, escalator, or elevator, make sure to stop short for no reason about 2 steps later. - Dress like a cop. Ottawa has more uniforms per square mile than any other city in Canada, so the best way to blend is to simply dress like a cop. The media and city councillors will line up to fawn over you and offer you pay raises and less accountability than you thought possible in a modern society. - The most popular Ottawa fashion accessory is pet hair on clothing. If your sweater, hoodie, or wool coat is not completely covered in cat or dog hair, you'll be spotted right away as a visitor. - Use no deodorant at all... OR... douse yourself in so much fragrance that dogs across the street begin to whine. There is no middle ground in Ottawa. - Whistle tunelessly in public. As loudly and as frequently as possible. Especially if there is a good song playing on the PA in a store. - Give the Stink Eye. Especially to young people with tattoos, multi-coloured hair, and lots of piercings. Anyone who looks different from the models in the Mark's catalogue, basically. - When driving, pretend you have no idea where you are because it is your first time driving in an urban environment. - Pretty much anything you do with a car is legal in Ottawa, as long as you put on your four-way lights. Need to park in the middle of an intersection? Or on a sidewalk? Just hit the four-ways and yer good t’ go, Bud. - Be racist. Not overtly, but, you know.... - Have an affair. - Use cocaine. - Pretend Ottawa is a lot more interesting than it really is.
We stayed at a Marriott downtown. I'd probably try to stay closer to the Rideau Canal area next time - but it really depends on if you're planning to be out exploring and near the sights most of the day or if you're looking for a place with a pool...
RUNNING WATER IN OTTAWA?!? It's crazy to see parts of ice cold Canada not ice cold! Looks like you were there during the summer. Would you suggest any of these things during the winter? Fun to see Ottawa during the summer and like how most people don't expect, warm and open. I'm sure the longer days were a fantastic perk!!!
Ottawa gets pretty cold in the winter, so if you like cooler temperatures then definitely visit. They have skating on the canal. But I'd prefer to visit in the warmer months.
This so beautiful apart from Salaried payment Bitcoin is another option anyone can relate easily and create a steady Funds. I work in a mortgage company and most of my spendable funds were generated in from Trading Bitcoin.
Have you been to Ottawa? If so, let me know what other attractions you'd recommend in the comments below!
Check out the old tartarian building still standing that we have inherited after the last world reset of the 1800s
I suggest Hog's Back, and there's a whole bunch of nature trails to walk along. We've hit three of the nature trails in the last month.
There's Dow's Lake, Vincent Massey Park, the Experimental Farm, there's the Rideau Museum, and down at the locks there, you can also get a boat tour of the Ottawa River, and there's also the boat tour of the Rideau Canal which you can get across from the Rideau Mall. The Experimental Farm has lovely gardens and paths around it, Carleton University has the butterfly house. The Glebe has many interesting shops and stores and the RCMP's Parade is done over in Vanier.
Dow's Lake in spring with the tulips and the canal for Winterlude! And the arboretum, of course! Take your camera! 😀👍
The Rideau Canal is the longest skating rink, not the largest.
@@ChristopherLaHaise So much to Ottawa, that a few days they'll miss a lot.
To any visitors: don’t be afraid to ask any local for help on anything. Although we may leave people alone for the most part, we will always be happy to help when asked.
And then when they walk away you backstab them.
Thankyou! 😀😀

العاصمة الفيدرالية الساحرة ، تجمع بين العمران البديع و الطبيعة الخلابة ، الملفت للإنتباه هو الهدوء و السكينة التي تبعث الراحة و السعادة للإنسان.
I gotta visit Ottawa. I've been to Toronto and Montreal and i fell in love with those cities. Much love from New York 😊🇺🇸❤🇨🇦
Thank you for listing all the best places to visit. My flight landed today in Ottawa and I’ll be following your list.;)
That's awesome! I hope you have a great time, and even get to some of the other attractions in the area 😊
I have seen multiple videos on Vancouver, Quebec, and Ontario. Seeing one on Ottawa is a nice change of pace.
Never been there, now it is on my list. It is so clean everywhere, #7 is my favorite. The estate looks charming. Thanks for sharing,
It was surprisingly clean for a major city
Soupreme Court of Canada is amazing architecture for me. Thanks for all video
It's a beautiful building 👌
Amazing video. I'm thinking of moving to Ottawa from the UK. Yes, I love hockey. Go Sens Go! ❤
Go for it! And thanks for watching!

I am moving to Ottawa in June I am so excited thank you for sharing this
Hope you have a smooth move!
How is life going right now, is that worthy to move ?

Too funny because we want to road trip to Boston when we can! I've never been before.
That is cool the court house is giving virtual tours right now. Oh wow, I would love to go to Parliament Hill. The buildings looks so cool. I loved the Ottawa sign where you can pose as the T. I love all of these recommendations!
Thanks so much! I loved that Ottawa sign too
During summer all these places look so refreshing with greenery all around. Very informative one for the tourists 👍 Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks very much!

Wow!! What a memory indeed. I'll have to look that up.
@@TheAverageTourist it would’ve been between 90-94 idk if there would be a public record of it or not.
I haven't been to Ottawa and now it's definitely on my list of places to go. Wow, there are so many museums and the street art is super cool. I really love the art on the stair treads. Rideau Canal is beautiful...I can't believe it transforms into a huge skating rink! I'm all about the food and craft beer though. The brunch you guys ate with the jerk chicken looks delicious!!
The brunch was so good... we still talk about it! It's a cool city to visit especially for a foodie.
dont go its super boring. unless you just want to stare at your phone.
Parliament Hill seems really cool. That means the flame has been lit over 50 years. That’s pretty cool. The manor looks impressive. The Alexandra Bridge lookout would be really cool to see!
Yeah I really liked Parliament but unfortunately we couldn't do the tour. Next time!!
One of my favorite cities!

Ottawa sucks!
I have never been to Ottawa. Good info to have.
Nothing to do only thing you could do is swim
Lot's of interesting things to do here and you give us a lot of detailed information about each stop.
Thanks, it's a fun city for sure
Thanks.Great vedio. I visited Ottawa last month. Canadian Royal Mint was worth visiting. Also , Bruce pit was great for cycling, trekking.
I've always wanted to go to the Mint!
I'm living in Ottawa currently. So, I can also recommend "Princess Louis Falls" at St Joseph Blvd and Petrie Island. Both are in Orleans, only 25 min from downtown Ottawa.
Good video, thank you
I haven't been to Ottawa so this video is packed with infos that I need in planning a trip there! The Rideau falls is a must see.

Awesome, glad it could help! Have a great trip 🙌
Lived in Linden Terrace in the early 70s and would love to revisit the area. Long way from London, England, though.

Never seen Ottawa before. Looks so fun to explore the river is so scenic and I really fo love those big city name blocks. So cool you guys had a car and could go check out that super awesome waterfall. Wow!
Yeah we were only a few hours away so it was worth driving
What lovely waterfalls. That was a great video packed with good information. Thank you 🙏🌈👍
Thanks for watching.

Parliament Hill is undergoing a 10-year rehabilitation project. If you visit the city and are planning to take a tour of the parliament buildings, you might be disappointed. Do some research ahead of time to find out the status of public access to the grounds.
Beautiful destinations to go .. thanks you for sharing ..
Thanks for watching
My lovely home town
Wow, for museum lovers Ottawa is the place to go for sure, 7 out of 9 national museums is a high ratio. Also have to find the Sparks Street to validate our visit with a picture :) Rideau Falls is so beautiful, added to our list! Shakshuka eggs and some beer would be great to have right about now :)
Yes did a trip even happen if you don't get a photo with the sign!? 🤣
Ottawa looks so beautiful! Love the views from Parliament hill and the walkway next to the canal...so amazing that if freezes over and forms a skateway 😁
The market is definitely a place we would visit 😅
It's a lovely city. I wish we had more time at the market
I've been to Ottawa! It's a great city!
Yep, 100% 👌
Don't forget the Christmas market! I have posted a video while it was closed if interested.
Such much information😁 Sarah you always give such great info.
Thank you so much 😊
Great tip top suggestions!!! Looks really cool place to be!!! Great production 😊
Thanks very much, appreciate it!
Great video, my friend! Thanks for sharing!
The parliament building is very impressive - as are the others actually. Wow. Looks like a really interesting city. The McKenzie King Estate does look like a really great spot to visit, especially now when it's best to be outdoors.
It was fun to visit. Sad that so much was closed still, but it will open again 😊
Parliament Hill looks amazing, some great buildings around the square, and some good views over the rivers and city. The Rideau Canal is beautiful as well, but I won't walk the full 200km though...

Ottawa looks really cool, although that spider monument is pretty terrifying! 😅
It looks like such a beautiful sunny weekend away, you look like you had some great food during your stay.
The sandwiches looked great for lunch! Loved Rideau Falls, that view looked so pretty then the wraps and onion rings looked pretty good too!
The spider was giant!! Imagine if it was real!? 😐 We enjoyed the weekend, lots to see and do there.
HI there - the spider is called maman (or mother)
Really great tips! I've been to Ottawa a few times, but haven't checked out a lot of things on your list. By far, my favourite is skating on the Rideau in the winter and eating beavertails ☺
Beavertails!! I should have added that. We didn't get any though.
Wooow this is great
Hello hello! Just stopping by and showing some support =) Big thumbs up and full watch for you! See you again soon!

Next time!

Beautiful vlogs
I already hit the red button
Stay connected
Thanks so much!
So good museum
Vah good information

Wonderful video.
Is the Parliament building open now without a tour? Or is it tour only? Website says they start tours May 20 but I may go beginning of May
Thank you 🙏🏾
Best video ❤️⛄️
THANKS ^^
Can you please do a Vancouver and surrounding areas in the lower mainland for average tourists 🙏😁 Sorry this is a re-edit beacuse I just found Own you did about Vancouver. Thanks so much ❤️
Hi Sara! If you haven't already, could you please do a review of London, Ontario? I'd love that! Thank you!
I've never thought to do a London video - I lived there for a few years but things have changed since then... maybe I'll have to go back!
Good 👌🥰👍😘🙏🙏
Thanks
ive been to ottawa what feels like a million times but ive never been downtown lol
It's a great downtown area - definitely recommend :)
The centennial flame was lit in 1967, not 1966, to mark 100 years since confederation.
Ottawa or Montreal for a trip which is better in the summer?
I'd probably pick Montreal especially if you're a foodie and enjoy the Old Town European feel.
