Parliament Hill is located on the south bank of the Ottawa River atParliament Hill, a Gothic Revival architectural complex consisting of the Centre Block, East Block, West Block, and the Library of Parliament. Construction began in 1859 and was largely completed by 1876. A fire in 1916 destroyed the Centre Block, and the rebuilt Peace Tower was completed in 1927 to commemorate Canadians who sacrificed their lives in World War I. The towering clock tower is now a prominent landmark on the Ottawa skyline. The daily Changing of the Guard ceremony and light shows in the summer add a sense of historical depth and modern vitality to this famous Canadian landmark.

Maple Leaf Viewing in Ottawa
No. 1 of Activities in Canada

Maple Leaf Viewing in Ottawa

5.9
The beauty of Ottawa's maple leaves is a precious gift bestowed on the city in autumn. Walking through the streets and alleys of Ottawa, you will find that both the banks of the ancient canal and the quiet park paths are covered with layers of colorful maple leaves. These maple leaves gradually transition from emerald green to golden yellow, orange-red, and finally turn into deep purple-red, just like the paint on the palette. Here, tourists can take a cruise ship to travel on the Rideau Canal. The maple leaves on both sides are as hot as flames, reflected on the sparkling water, and set off the ancient bridges and buildings; or you can choose to hike through the greenway, enjoy the various forms of maple leaves along the way, and feel the wonders of nature.Canada · Ottawa

Rideau Hall has been the workplace and residence of successive Governors General since Canada's founding in 1867. The residence still frequently hosts state ceremonial events, such as investiture ceremonies and cabinet swearing-in ceremonies, serving as a window into Canadian ceremonial traditions. The main building is a three-story gray structure with a simple and dignified style. The grounds, covering dozens of acres, are a highlight for visitors and offer something to see in every season. The grounds continue a century-old tradition of commemorative tree planting, where visiting royals and heads of state have personally planted saplings. These have now grown into a forest, and strolling through it feels like reading an open-air history of diplomacy. Former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson was the first Chinese-Canadian to reside here.Ottawa · 27.9km from Wakefield

The Rideau Canal is an artificial canal that runs through downtown Ottawa. Construction began in the 1820s to create a military supply route away from the border, and it was completed in approx. six years. It runs from Ottawa to Kingston, spanning a total length of approx. 200 km. Dozens of stone locks along the route are still in operation today, and the entire canal is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

In summer, you can paddle a canoe along the canal to enjoy the beautiful city scenery. In winter, the ice surface turns into a natural skating rink, where you can skate to get around.Ottawa · 32km from Wakefield

Visiting the Canadian Parliament was a great experience. The building's exterior is exquisite with delicate stone carvings, and the interior chambers feature spectacular dome paintings. The guided tours provided clear explanations of federal history, and the free reservation system made it easy to book admission.

I went to the Governor General's Palace of Canada twice. The first time was just to check in, and the second time was because I saw in a travel note that there were trees planted here by two Chinese leaders, so I went there specifically to look for them one by one, but still couldn't find them.

A must see and do if you are in Ottawa. It is very relaxing and peaceful stroll. We are here in the fall and with the colourful leaves, it felt fresh and beautiful scenery.

The National Gallery of Canada is not very large, with two floors, divided into modern art, indigenous culture and art, American, French, and Dutch galleries; even if you just want to browse, it is best to set aside 3 hours. The gallery houses works by Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, and Renoir.
