Ontario is a province situated in central Canada. It’s the country’s most populous province and home to the capital city of Ottawa. The area was originally home to Indigenous people, and Europeans first arrived in the area in the early 1600s. Over the years, the province has been home to trading posts and railway expansion. While you may have explored the wonderful things your hometown has to offer, including strolls through Frontenac Provincial Park or a concert at National Art Centre Orchestra, Ottawa remains a lovely destination for a relaxing staycation if you have limited time to travel. It’s the perfect place to recharge and indulge in some Me Time. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, read on to check out the best staycations in Ontario, Canada.
