Ottawa Things to Do and Ottawa Attractions

Ottawa Places of Interest

Canadian War Museum
Even before considering the wealth of history contained within its walls, the Canadian War Museum is a site to see. The dramatic grass-covered roof, housing gardens meant to symbolize regeneration, rises to a peak at one end, imitating the undulating European landscape where Canadians fought in the two World Wars. The small windows spell "Lest we forget" in Morse code and the copper accents are from the roof of the Library of Parliament. Inside, the museum traces Canada's military history in galleries such as Battleground and Forged in Fire. Guests can walk through a trench among bursting shells or see military vehicles and Hitler's Mercedes-Benz. The reverent Memorial Hall is a soundproof space containing one single element, the headstone of the Unknown Soldier from the First World War.

The museum offers several spaces for private events of up to 2,000 guests. The Canadian War Museum is open Friday through Wednesday, May 1 to June 30 and September 2 to October 13, from 9 AM to 6 PM and Thursday from 9 AM to 9 PM; Saturday through Wednesday, July 1 to September 1, from 9 AM to 6 PM and Thursday and Friday from 9 AM to 9 PM; and Tuesday through Sunday, October 14 to April 30, from 9 AM to 5 PM and Thursday from 9 AM to 9 PM.

National Gallery of Canada
Most guests are drawn to the National Gallery by the huge spider looming by the entrance, though the building's unique architecture certainly sets it apart as well. A glass steeple rises above the glass-sided ramp leading up to the Great Hall, whose circular shape echoes that of the Library of Parliament visible in the distance. As Canada's top showcase for Canadian art, visitors can view displays ranging from portraits by 18th century artist William Berczy to contemporary artist Joe Fafard's miniature-sized bronze horse. Also on display is the reconstructed interior of the Rideau Street Convent Chapel, removed from a 1880s convent, a lovely wood room with the continent's only neo-Gothic fan-vaulted ceiling.

Statues and monuments, including that of Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II, John George Diefenbaker and William Lyon Mackenzie King, as well as English and Victorian Gothic gardens populate the grounds.

The Hill is also the location of several events throughout the year. These events include Canada Day and the Changing of the Guard, when members of two of Canada's most historic regiments, the Canadian Grenadier Guards and the Governor General's Foot Guards, march each morning to the front lawn.

Public tours run all year, with schedules and hours varying based on if Parliament is in session. Outdoor guided tours of the historical figures on Parliament Hill run daily June 21 to September 1.
