Ottawa is one of the prettiest cities in Canada and should be higher on people's lists of places to visit in Ontario and in Canada.

There's so much to do in Ottawa with kids. For one, its a gorgeous and walkable city in all seasons, and it has some of the best museums in the whole country. It's a great place to eat poutine, practice French, take a scenic boat ride, and learn a lot about how Canada was built and how it continues to be run.
