Ottawa, Ontario - Canada's
capital city.
Ottawa offers activities and opportunities to combine
a wedding with an extraordinary travel experience. We are proud of our wide range
of tourist activities and attractions in any season.
The fall is especially
beautiful as this is when our maple trees display their amazing colors. Winter
offers the chance to skate on the Rideau Canal, the world's longest skating rink
and take in the Winterlude Festival.
Spring is glorious -- our Tulip Festival
honours the role Canada played in liberating Holland and attracts thousands of
visitors each year. And summer...ah, those lazy days in town or at the cottage!
