Canada road trip: Ottawa 📸 Favorite Instagram photos

Ottawa, the capital of Canada and a lovely city to explore.

Beautiful architecture, an amazing market with delicious food and a great atmosphere. You find rivers and canals all over which makes it a great place for hikes and to be in touch with nature in the middle of the city. Plus it's a great place to learn about Canadian history and nature!

Steve & Robin • #tstHosts In #Ottawa, Aude and I were hosted by Steve and Robin. I met Steve a first time in St John's, Newfoundland where he was touring with his band The Red Rails. They saw me practicing on a parking lot and asked me what I was doing. We had a little chat and I went to see their concert that eve. Loved it! Have been playing their cd while driving a lot. Check em out! http://www.theredrails.com Steve got in touch when he saw I was on my way to Ottawa and invited us to stay with them. A beautiful couple with the heart at the right place. We felt very welcome and at home. Good times! PS: Robin is an awesome cook! ••• Currently updating from Calgary.

Peak of Discovery • #tstmoments Another mission I got was to find #NepeanPoint in #Ottawa. Again I got directions from Chris via Twitter and with his help I discovered this small hill in the center of the city with the French explorer Samuel de Champlain overlooking the Ottawa River which he discovered with the help of natives many many years ago. The perfect place to overlook the city at sunset. ••• Currently updating from Calgary.

Capital Ottawa • #tstMoments I'll start sharing pics & stories from my time exploring the lovely capital of this amazing country. I was there 2 weeks before the city and with it the nation, got struck by tragedy. It shocked me terribly and I will try my best to bring tribute to this beautiful city. Starting with this picture of the centennial flame, commemorating Canada's 100th anniversary as a confederation in 1967. It's right in front of the Parliament building. • #tstCanada with @explorecanada @ottawatourism @ontariotravel • #MyOttawa #ExploreCanada #DiscoverON • #Travel #Canada #Ontario #Ottawa •

In touch with Nature • #tstStories In Ottawa I paid a visit to the Canadian Museum of Nature. What a cool place. You discover all the animals, insects that inhabit(ed) Canada and learn about them in a very interactive way. From dinosaurs over whales, to bears, Moose, wolves and all kinds of birds. Spent a great afternoon there! Worth a visit. • #tstCanada with Ontario Travel & Canada Keep Exploring • #MyOttawa #ExploreCanada #DiscoverON • #travel #Canada #Ontario #Ottawa #museum • ••• Currently updating from Saskatoon in Saskatchewan.

Serenading history • #tstMoments Another mission I got in #Ottawa was to find the 'Tin House'. Found it hidden behind some of the houses at #ByWardMarket. It's a piece of art with a fun story about a smart tin salesman. He covered his entire house in Tin to advertise his craftmanship and his shop got known as the 'Tin House' The house has been torn down over time but they recovered the tin and made this tin balcony in his honor.

A stroll through history • #tstStories Another museum I visited in #Ottawa was the Canadian Museum of History. It has a big focus on native people culture and the first settlers. Very educational and I just loved the art work. Especially the totem poles were very impressive! ••• Currently updating from Calgary.

Lock & Boat • #tstStories Downtown #Ottawa you'll find this serie of locks that connect the Ottawa River with the Rideau Canal. In the summer it's a great place to hangout and watch boats going up and down the locks. In the winter the canal freezes over and turns into the world's largest skating rink. People use the canal for skating fun and even to skate to work. How cool is that! ••• Currently updating from Calgary.
