You can’t resist the charms of Canada’s capital. Friendly and polite, welcoming and relaxed, Ottawa reflects this country’s best characteristics. A calming canal twists its way through town, its banks lined with parks, its waters inviting summer boat rides or winter ice skaters. Imposing Parliament Hill might dominate here, but so do craft breweries, open-air markets and world-class museums.
