Ottawa's major sights are clustered on the steep, south banks of the Ottawa River to either side of the Rideau Canal. It's here you'll find the monumental Victorian architecture of Parliament Hill , the outstanding art collection of the National Gallery , the military memorabilia of the Canadian War Museum , the imposing Notre Dame Basilica and Byward Market , the hub of the restaurant and bar scene. Many visitors stop there, but there are a clutch of other, lesser attractions too, beginning with the Laurier House , packed with the possessions of the former prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King and located 1km or so east of the centre. Northeast of the centre, on the far side of the Rideau River, is the ritzy suburb of Rockcliffe , home to both the governor-general's mansion, Rideau Hall , and the National Aviation Museum .
In truth, Ottawa is neither grandiose nor tedious, but a lively cosmopolitan city of 330,000 with a clutch of outstanding national museums , a pleasant riverside setting and superb cultural facilities like the National Arts Centre, plus acres of parks and gardens and miles of bicycle and jogging paths. It also possesses lots of good hotels and B&Bs and a busy café-bar and restaurant scene - enough to keep the most diligent sightseer going for a day or three, maybe more. Here too, for once in English-speaking Ontario, Canada's bilingual laws make sense: Québec's Hull is just across the river and on the streets of Ottawa you'll hear as much French as English.
Ottawa's Macdonald-Cartier International Airport is located about 15km south of the city. From the airport, a Hotel Shuttle bus runs to various downtown hotels; it leaves every half-hour at a cost of $9 one-way, $14 return. A taxi from the airport to downtown will set you back about $20. Ottawa's train station is on the southeastern outskirts at 200 Tremblay Rd, about 5km from the centre. There are direct VIA Rail trains to and from Brockville, Kingston, Montréal and Toronto. Local bus #95 goes downtown from the train station; the same journey by taxi will rush you approximately $15. Long-distance buses arrive at and depart from the bus station at 265 Catherine St on the corner of Kent just off the Queensway. Take local bus #4 to get further downtown.
