- Ottawa - This Ontario city is where you’ll find charming old-world buildings surrounded by picturesque natural beauty. Check out our amazing footage of Canada’s capital.
When ready, browse vacation packages to Ottawa: www.expedia.com/Ottawa.d17829...
The first stop on an #Ottawa #vacation should be the Rideau Canal. This waterway cuts the city in half, and it provides places for boating and paddleboarding during the summer. You can go ice skating along the Rideau when it ices over in winter.
Head to ByWard Market, where you’ll find some of the best fresh produce you’ll ever taste. Stock up on fruits and vegetables while you’re there.
#Visit the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec. This is where you can tour recreations of Old Canada: explore 1800s storefronts, wander into log cabins, and learn about the First Nations people. The National Gallery of Canada, a stunning glass-and-granite building full of art from Canadian, European, and other North American artists.
Round out your trip with a venture to Gatineau Park, where you can relax by the lake or take tea in the MacKenzie King estate.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Ottawa has it all, it is a beautiful city with a marvelous architecture, clean, organized and very safe, people are also very friendly. worth to visit!
Why thank you
Truly, last statement won my heart. Canada has everything from lush green forest to snow clad mountains. In short, Canada has nature in it's pristine form. Love Canada from India ❤🙂
Pros and Cons of Ottawa as a resident:
Pros: Relaxing atmosphere, wilderness just minutes away, transit system is decent, good museums, small town feel in a big city, mostly everyone is friendly, rideau canal in winter for skating, plenty of local parks, 4 distinct seasons, employment is generally strong but pigeonholed into certain sectors - cost of living is low compared to bigger cities.
Cons: It's way too cold in winter and it lasts too long, the city is largely silent in winter, lacks an obvious style (something that says - Ottawa), city maintenance is too slow, not enough festivals, government workers increase rush hour by 2 hours (really needs more roads), if you aren't into sport or the outdoors there isn't enough to do, and the city is really spread out.
Conclusion: If you love the outdoors and embrace every season but also love friendly people and small cities this is a great place for you! For me it is a good compromise, I just have to make it through the winter and I'm fine :).
N00bicals There is NO wilderness in Ottawa, if you want wilderness go to Vancouver, the Rockies, the North Cascades, Alaska etc.
I don’t think we need more roads. We need better public transit.
@@julianrolheiser6061 you live in Ottowa?
You must have the wrong city.
I love and miss Ottawa :-)
Ottawa, the city where 1/2 of Discovering was born! We always visit friends and family and we love to go back! A great tip for visitors is to visit Ottawa during the "Ottawa Tulip Festival", which gives lots of colours and fun to the city, where tourists will find lots of events going on too!
Ottawa in my opinion is the best canadian city :) Greetings From New Zealand!
I agree but NZ is the love of my life
I lived in Ottawa for most of my childhood. It's a very cultural city. It has nice scenery.
What a wonderful place, I was there when it was Canada Day 2017. Greetings from The Netherlands
Adore Ottawa. It is the considerable jewel of Canada. The city which is a medley of two incredible culture's The English and the French. And the community of welcoming spirit.
I'm proud to be a Canadian. 🙂
And living in Ottawa
Is it good?
You're not Canadian! You just live in Canada. It's different .
Beautiful Ottawa-Canada'sCapital City!!!
Yes
UPDATE: Ottawa is no longer the 4th largest city in Canada, it is the 6th largest now. Calgary and Edmonton are now both larger than Ottawa in terms of population.
Bobby P, it could be. With all the immigrants flooding in the past few years.
James Jefferson b To
Bobby P false. Ottawa is still bigger than Edmonton. Only Calgary is more populated. It’s the 4th most populated, behind Toronto, Montreal and Calgary.
@@jamesjefferson8917 Sorry :(
@@carlosrosales9184 tbh I am surprised Ottawa is not growing as fast as those 2 cities
Ottawa is the capital because it's on the border with Ontario (English Canada) and Quebec (French Canada)
And was chosen by Queen Victoria because it was far from the American border.
123benny4 “far”
@@123benny4 Ontario can speak French .
Really? I didn’t know that!
It's all in Google and Apple .
grew up in montreal but ottawa,beautiful too thx for the upload
Looks like a beautiful town to spend a couple days in but I don't think any one below 40 would want to live there full time.
Ya I'm below 40 and I've lived in Ottawa my whole life. Not very youthful. There's not much for young people to do so living here is boring.
I have been in Ottawa It s very beautiful city .I want to visti Ottawa again.
i live there
Nuke Ottawa lol
Joking
Seoul Boy you really should i live in the city near by and when ever i go there i just love it
O Canada! So breathtaking

Wow. I might be travelling here over the summer. Some friends said its boring, but I enjoy peace and quiet and the lush greenery. Looks great.
Beautiful I recommend to visit.

Where did you originally live?
do u know ottawa what good in ottawa ???
Adika Fernand where u from live ? Why u wanna Côme ? Ottawa is yack
Canada is very beautiful!!!
Its a beautiful city. Canada top in my bucket list.
For anyone who says Ottawa is boring, please understand any city is boring if you dont go out to do stuff. While cities like Toronto and Montreal have very in-your-face flashy attractions, in Ottawa you have to venture a little deeper to discover some really cool things. There are so many cool places to visit that just aren’t obvious, but once you find them you’ll truly feel fulfilled!
Sean Sweno I am! I’m 18
Ottawa is boring,
@@minecraftloving14 ok minecraftloving 12
Now that's my beautiful country I grew up in!

One the most clean and interesting city in the heart, greeting from Rome.

Must go back to this city! Thanks for the video.
I lived there for 10 years but have been away for 17 years. I miss it greatly and hope to return to live.
Ottawa demand a NBA team, you deserve one.
and arts sing dance
Lovely city 💕
Ottawa Canada is a verry beautiful City I really would like to visit One Day thanks for sharing This beautiful video with me
Stunning!
Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as Canada's capital because it was situated between Lower and Upper Canada, and as well, because it was far from the American border; Toronto, Kingston, London, Montreal, were too close.
*And Quebec City too french lmao
@123benny4 NO She Didn’t stop lying on my Canada. Canadians chose Ottawa as a capital together. Basically Ottawa was chosen cuz neither Montreal & Toronto were suitable as either were too anglophone or Francophone. OTTAWA was a mixture of both and between the 2 cities & it happened to be a little far from US border. Montreal was always the financial hub of Canada from its founding by Jacques Cartier via St. Lawrence River until the 1940’s (now it’s Toronto) so being close to US border became less of an issue. Also literally no one even knows or cares about the old woman you’re naming !!
@@nochatter7134 Ahh, still, historically, Queen Victoria chose Ottawa. Lower and Upper Canada translates to Quebec and Ontario and French Canada and English Canada. You haven't gone back enough in history. As for the other things you've said, already knew that. Those are modern times. I live in Montreal, but am originally from the Toronto area.
@123benny4 No you didn’t say what I said. You gave the sole decision to a monarchy that Natives, Francophones & even many Canadians never recognize. You are pushing a cringe narrative here and am the perfect person to tell you so. I’m 4th generation Canadian, my grandparents are scottish. My father is born in Orleans, Italian on my mom side. OTTAWA was chosen solely by all Canadians at that time, your living room history by english teachers doesn’t cut in the real world. This is why Canadians send their kids to schools in big urban cities cuz atleast history can’t be distorted there 🤨
@@nochatter7134 You may think what you want to think but that doesn't necessarily mean it's true. History gets washed to suit whomever. You can change what actually happened. I googled this and this is what came up: Queen Victoria
One hundred and fifty years ago Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as the capital of the United Province of Canada. As one of the oldest and the fourth largest municipality in Canada, the City of Ottawa has a story to tell that encompasses but is also distinct from its role as the national capital.
Creativity lives!
Beautiful city 🌆
I went there 2 month ago it was awesome!
beautiful place,
I hope one day my dream come true to live in Ottawa.
maybe it will i live there right now LOL
I'm from Toronto, and I'm moving to Ottawa in a few months, not looking forward to it
jorge diaz ... you sound that you never seen the world my friend. You call that a dream ,do you wanna die in a shelter .. sure then go to Ottawa I buy you the bus ticket
bijoux gerrard can you buy me a bus ticket?
@@baybayview1231 Lmao, your comment made me laugh. I left Los Angeles and moved to Ottawa. Biggest mistake ever. I'm moving back to America next year.
OMG! What is it today. I think I'm nostalgic.
I love this place
Beautiful.
Cool I just live there for life
Also near Ottawa is the Diefenbunker. Very interesting location to visit.
Torn between living in US or Canada someday. Both are amazing for me.

Check out our British Columbia episode!
It's really unfortunate that Ottawa is one of the most boring cities in Canada. Also, people like to say that Ottawa is a very cold city during the winter. Ottawa is definitely not like Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver, but it's more laid-back for elders and there's at least one sports team which is the Ottawa Senators (NHL) that can at least make you excited.
I lived in Ottawa for 18 years. It's true it's very cold in the Winter, and the buses often get stuck in the snow. Why ? Because the city thought it was a smart idea to use a articulated bus that is rear driven, in Ottawa Winters...
@@gnexus01 it’s typical OC Transpo, my dude. They opened the new train about a year ago and I use it all the time to go to school. And a lot of times, it just breaks down or something else. Ottawa is a nice city and shit, but public transport SUCKS.
The average January high is -6C/21F and low -15C/5F…. You’re telling me that’s not cold? No other city of a million or more in North America is this cold lol
Good job
I like to visit ottawa canada🇨🇦
I am planning to one day travel to Canada and do just 2 cites. But, I am adding just a few more.
Ottawa canada capital beautyful city

3:47 is my favorite view
Beautiful city! Do they more often speak English or French there?
❤❤❤❤
