Ottawa is the capital of Canada. Ottawa has four seasons. Where if summer arrives, the temperature there is really very hot, and vice versa when winter arrives, the temperature there is really very cool. But even so, Ottawa is famous for its winter. When winter arrives, the temperature in Ottawa could peak at -40 degrees Celsius. The right place for those who love the cold air. If you want to vacation in the winter, I recommend taking a thick jacket and wearing layers.
In the summer time, Ottawa is not less interesting, because a lot of festivals from different countries and you can enjoy the beautiful city of Ottawa. Ottawa is also famous for the tulip festival is held every year by the government.
In addition, Ottawa also has a Calypso Water Park. Calypso is the largest waterpark in Canada. So do not worry, like the summer or winter, Ottawa still interesting to visit. Below are some of the places frequented by many tourists.
Parliament Hill is home to the Canadian Federal legislature and an iconic symbol of the Canadian state’s commitment to democracy and peace. Parliament Hill is one of the tourist spots visited by many tourists. Many performances are held outside of parliament. For example, The Changing of the Guard Ceremony, Christmas Lights Across Canada, musical sound and light show, and also an event center during Canada Day.
