Ottawa, Canada
The Canadian capital is often overlooked because it lacks the French flair of Montreal or Toronto’s international aura. This would be a big mistake. Ottawa is a city of grace and elegance.
The summer edition of the Ottawa Jazz Festival will take place from June 23-30.
The Canadian Tire Centre is the place to be if you’re a hockey fan. Check out the Ottawa 67’s for a less expensive option.
The Rideau Canal becomes the largest skating rink in the world from late February to early March, depending upon ice thickness. The skating rink is free and open 24/7. It’s great for watching people and boats when it’s warm.
Parliament Hill is a must-see. It’s home to Canada’s Federal Government and the striking Parliament Buildings on a promontory over the Ottawa River. – FB
