Ottawa

Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is a beautiful city located on the banks of the Ottawa River. Queen Victoria renamed Ottawa from Bytown to its current name in 1855 and it was declared the capital of Canada in 1857

Parliament Hill draws almost 3 million visitors annually. Interestingly, the flag on top of The Peace Tower is replaced every week day. The used flags are sent free of charge to any Canadian citizen who requests one; however, the waitlist is over 100 years.

There were many amazing museums, monuments and statues.

Byward is one of Canada's oldest and largest public markets. I was successful in finding the artist who sketches scenes on large maple leafs. I bought one of the parliament buildings.Baca lagi
