Parliament Hill in Ottawa: worth a trip north!
"The centrepiece of Ottawa’s downtown landscape, Parliament Hill is the political and cultural heart of the city.
The Parliament Buildings sit atop the Hill, the gorgeous Gothic-style structures overlooking the Ottawa River, as the politicians within debate the present and future issues of the country.
Free guided tours are available daily, including a chance to head up to the Peace Tower for an incredible view of the city.
During the year, the Hill is the focal point for a number of the biggest celebrations in the country: Canada Day (July 1) sees about a hundred thousand people descend upon the landmark for entertainment and a thrilling fireworks show, the summertime Sound and Light show is a nightly marvel, and Christmas Lights Across Canada illuminates the Hill like no other spot in the nation."
