A canal that becomes the world's largest skating rink the moment it freezes solid, a parliament hill light show every summer evening, and a museum scene dense enough to fill a week without repeating a subject.

The best time to visit Ottawa is Jun–Aug, or Jan–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 26°C (78°F).
