Ottawa: Walking Tour + Rideau Canal Cruise
About this experience
Start at the Giant Spider sculpture, "Maman," in front of the National Gallery, an impressive art piece by Louise Bourgeois featuring a spider with marble eggs.
Then, head to ByWard Market, passing the Royal Mint and Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica. ByWard Market is a lively area with a farmer's market, artisan shops, and restaurants, as well as historical landmarks and different cultural spots.
Continue walking to The Centennial Flame, passing the Fairmont Chateau Laurier. The Centennial Flame is a flame-shaped fountain marking the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation, symbolizing national unity with a flame surrounded by a mosaic of the country's provinces and territories.
To conclude the tour, board a Rideau Canal Cruise for views of the downtown area and the Rideau Canal from Dow's Lake to the Ottawa River.
