A Traveler's Guide to Ottawa

Ottawa is a city that is located in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is the capital of Canada as well as the fourth largest city in the country. It was recently ranked 14th on the "Cities With the Highest Quality of Living" list by the Mercer Human Resource Consultants.

Because of its northern location, Ottawa has been classified with a humid continental climate, which means warm summers and cold winters. The seasons are very distinct. Summer temperatures generally stay in the 70's to low 80's Fahrenheit but winter temperatures can dip well below freezing for several days on end. Snowfall is very common in the winter months, and the summer months can see quite a bit of rainfall from year to year.

The National Gallery of Canada is one of the most important national museums in the nation, and it is located in Ottawa. The Canadian War Museum contains memorabilia that memorializes Canada’s sacrifices in wars around the world. The Canadian Museum of Nature, the Canada Agriculture Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum are all other popular museums in the city. The National Arts Centre is the largest performing arts venue in the city and houses the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra, and the Opera Lyra Ottawa.

The city is home to the Ottawa Senators, who compete with other Canadian and American hockey teams in the National Hockey League. The city has been home to several other professional teams in the past, but none have been as financially successful as the Senators.

The primary airport in Ottawa is the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. There are two other regional airports that also offer commercial flights, the Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport and the Ottawa/Carp Airport.
