Ottawa - Free Self-Guided Audio Tour

Ottawa Eastside Heritage Walk: Canal, Cathedral & Gallery

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Trace Ottawa’s graceful waterfront and cultural heart, from the lawns and fountains of Confederation Park to the engineering drama of the Rideau Locks and the turrets of the Château Laurier. The route then turns toward soaring stone and glass — Notre-Dame’s silver spires, the National Gallery’s modern lines, and public art that surprises at every corner — before opening to river views from Kiweki Point and the lawns of Major’s Hill Park. Expect a mix of calm green spaces and photogenic landmarks. Mornings are quieter; step inside the cathedral and gallery when you need a break from the elements.
