As the capital city, Ottawa is best known as being home to the seat of federal government. In reality, Ottawa is much more. We live in an architecturally stunning city with a unique combination of urban and rural experiences. From culture at the National Arts Centre to street performers in the Byward Market, the ambiance in Ottawa is wonderful. Visitors and residents alike enjoy festivals, sporting events and exhibits at over 29 local museums with a wonderful variety of things to see and do. The changing seasons offer highlights as well - spring, with over 3 million tulips in bloom, summer, with an action-packed festival and event schedule; fall, with the beautiful changing colours, and in winter, the world's largest skating rink.
