As the nation’s capital, much can be said about Ottawa. Its urban scene beautifully blends with the rural setting, giving tourists a jampacked experience of Canadian life. Many cultures have shaped the city, including English, French, Irish, and Scottish. Thanks to the many rivers converging here, it quickly became an active hub for trading and transportation as early as the 17th century. Today, Ottawa continues to be a favorite destination among travelers seeking to collect new experiences. Rideau Canal is one of the most visited attractions in the city. You can go on a cruise during summer as there are several boat tours in Ottawa in the summertime and skating becomes greatly popular as soon as the canal freezes during winter. With all the thrilling things to do in Ottawa, having a cozy home away from home is vital. Check out the top cabins near Ottawa, Canada, below.
