Grab a warm bowl of Pho Bo Ga L.A. to keep you energized as the light fades.

Walk up to Màmawi: Together. Find the spot where the ceiling meets the walls. The late afternoon sun filters through the 100 hand-painted Algonquin-Anishinabe canoe paddles, casting long, warm shadows across the station architecture.
16:45
Head to Chaudière Falls to watch the sun dip below the horizon. The cascades catch the last of the golden light, offering a dramatic view of the Ottawa River as the city lights begin to twinkle.
17:15
End your evening with a stroll through ByWard Market. The stalls are closing up, but the atmosphere is lively. Pick up a souvenir or a late-night snack to take home.
