1 Best Sight in Ottawa, Ontario

Given Ottawa's architectural beauty and the fact that parking is at a premium in the downtown core, one of the best ways to see the city is on foot. You'll need transportation to see the sights and museums located outside of the downtown area as well as Gatineau, however. Note that many museums are closed Monday, particularly in winter. Taxis can take you into Québec and back, but you'll have to get a local taxi to explore within each city of the province. Bus service is limited.

ByWard Market

Excellent fresh produce and maple products have been attracting shoppers to this farmers' market since 1826. Surrounding the market stalls are permanent specialty food shops, some well over 100 years old, as well as restaurants, nightclubs, cafés, and boutiques.
