How to Have Memorable Experiences with Holidays to Ottawa

by Daisy Wilkinson Travel Guides

The capital city of Canada, Ottawa gives you the chance to explore some majestic landmarks and vibrant festivals during your holiday spent in this part of the world. It was founded as Bytown in the 19th century. The city is located on the Ottawa River's southern bank and has been rated as the best place to live in Canada consistently over the years. It is also ranked highly for its quality of life. The city has the most educated population among all the cities of Canada and has many research centres and cultural institutions. While getting around in the city, you'll come across some excellent music and art venues, elegant shopping neighbourhoods, and an exciting nightlife.

Your holidays to Ottawa would be truly pleasant if you visit the Canadian city during its summer season, which begins in the month of June and lasts until August. This time of the year has a wonderful weather with comfortable daytime temperatures for enjoying sightseeing and other exciting activities outdoors. However, this is a peak tourist season and you'll have to book your holiday or hotel accommodation well in advance to get the best deals. Another great time to visit the city would be the autumn season from September to November. For most parts of autumn, you can enjoy some attractive deals on hotel accommodations, but they're hiked considerably during festivals.

If you can bear the extreme cold of winter, you'll be able to enjoy cheap holidays to Ottawa during this season as there's a significant drop in room rates owing to a lesser number of tourists visiting the city. Winter arrives in the month of December and stays until February. Despite a chilly weather with the average daytime temperatures below the 20-Degree Celsius mark, you can indulge in some exciting activities like ice-skating. From the month of March to May, the city experiences a pleasant spring season. This would be another great time to get cheaper hotel stays.

While enjoying your cheap holidays to Ottawa, you can explore the Rideau Canal with the help of a boat ride. It allows you to witness some enchanting sights as you go on this 90-minute trip from Chateau Laurier to Dow's Lake. You'd certainly not like to miss the ByWard Market during your sightseeing trips, as it is one of the country's largest and oldest public markets. While exploring this market, you can buy some fantastic souvenirs like handmade hats.

During your time spent in Ottawa, you'll be able to get some interesting insights into the long and violent military history of Canada upon visiting the Canadian War Museum, which was designed by Raymond Moriyama, a renowned Canadian architect. While exploring this museum, you'll be able to browse through some brilliant artefacts that were used during both the world wars, such as rare vehicles, uniforms, artillery, and medals. Parliament Hill is another popular place worth exploring, as this is where some key decisions are made by the Canadian government. You'll be able to explore the portions of this building that are open to the public with the help of guided tours.

You can have greater savings and get to witness some fantastic places with cheap holidays to Cambodia.
