Ottawa - the Federal Capital of Canada

Hotels in Ottawa - Canada

More than a hundred years ago the Canadian capital became the North American centre for lumber milling and square-cut timber industry. Today Ottawa is a centre of tourism and a vivid metropolis with plenty of hotels which will indulge you with excellent service, top quality hotel rooms and culinary delights. Eat, drink and discover Ottawa with its beautiful countryside and the ethnic mix of overwhelmingly friendly locals.

The cultural life in this city is unique and can’t be compared with any other metropolis in North America. A huge collection of museums and art galleries will make your days, whereas plenty of bars, operas, a casino and much more will make your nights. For a rather relaxed afternoon, however, Ottawa boasts loads of green areas in and outside the city.

Enjoy long strolls with the family or just benefit from the city’s first class cycling facilities, North America’s most extensive recreational pathway networks and its parkways. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Canadian Museum of Nature which is supposed to be home to one of the world’s finest natural history collections. This museum has been a magnet for tourists and scientists ever since it was built.

Without a doubt Ottawa’s Saint Patrick Basilica is one of the city’s highlights and a must-see for every tourist. The Basilica has a long history in the city of Ottawa, as it has been the first English-speaking Roman Catholic Parish and was declared a Basilica on Saint Patrick’s Day in March 1995. The Canada Aviation Museum is definitely one of the major highlights in town. Witness the rapid development from the first steps of flying to modern aviation.

The look at some of these aircrafts will give you the creeps. Nevertheless, the city of Ottawa is the perfect place to spend your vacation. Experience a uniquely spicy blend of nations based upon a mix of Irish/British and French influence. Witness the exemplary service in your hotel in Ottawa as well as a perfect public transport system and don’t forget your camera.
