Timeline
10:00
Start early at Parliament Hill to enjoy the Gothic revival architecture and views of the Ottawa River in relative peace. The site is open and ready for your visit at 10:00.
10:45
Walk nine minutes to BeaverTails for a classic Ottawa snack. Try the fried-dough pastry topped with cinnamon and sugar. It is open from 10:00 to 20:00 on weekdays.
11:15
Stroll ten minutes to ByWard Market to browse the stalls. In summer, fresh produce and flowers line the streets, and you can find maple syrup at better prices here than at souvenir shops.
Local tip
ByWard Market is a farmers market; check the specific day of the week for the full array of fresh produce stalls, as the experience varies slightly between weekdays and weekends.
