We’ve all heard our neighbors to the north are friendly, like maple syrup and hockey, and live in one of the most striking and beautiful countries in the world. There’s only one way to know for sure, and that’s to go experience it for yourself! The best place to go to get a sense of Canada is the capital, Ottawa. Located in the province of Ontario, in east-central Canada, Ottawa lies on the south bank of the Ottawa River. Across the river, only 8 km away, is the city of Gatineau. It is the home of Parliament Hill, where Canada’s legislature resides. The Canadian Museum of History and the National Gallery of Canada are also here, which house some of the country’s greatest works and oldest treasures. Ottawa also lies on the U.S. border and shares Lake Ontario. The city of more than a million has an easy going vibe, being one of the most welcoming and walkable cosmopolitan areas in the country. Park the RV rental in Ottawa and explore the historic ByWard Market. During the day it is host to a large farmers’ market and chic boutiques; at night, it turns into a bustling scene with hot restaurants, great pubs, and bumping nightclubs.
