Canada

Parliament Hill, Crown land on the southern bank of the Ottawa River

I recently visited Ottawa, the capital of Canada, and was captivated by the harmonious blend of history, culture, and natural beauty it offers. From strolling through the iconic Parliament Hill to admiring the stunning architecture of the National Gallery of Canada and the Museum of Canadian History, every moment was filled with wonder. I also enjoyed a leisurely walk along the picturesque Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Additionally, I attended the vibrant Tulip Festival, surrounded by an assortment of colorful flowers. A highlight of my trip was taking an Amphibus tour, which offered a unique perspective on the city's landmarks while being guided by a bilingual expert. The delightful cuisine, peaceful neighborhoods, and warm locals left a lasting impression on me, and I eagerly look forward to returning to Ottawa to discover even more of its beauty & charms.
