Review:
Ottawa is the sprawling capital city of Canada, which is located in the very southeast part of the Ontario Province. The city is situated about 50 miles north from the U.S./Canada border, and a little further than that to its French-speaking neighbor to the east, Montreal. The city is home to several internationally famous institutions that include the National Arts Center and National Gallery. The Rideau Canal divides the central part of the city, with the northern area referred to as ‘Lower Town’, and the southern area recognized as ‘Upper Town’. Ottawa features a number of impressive attractions for visitors to check out, including Parliament Hill, the Canadian War Museum, Canadian Museum of Nature, and Peace Tower.
