A magnificent Victorian Gothic sandstone building, the Parliament Building, is home to Federal Government of Canada. It is situated on a tree covered promontory overlooking the rolling Ottawa River. The Gothic structure was constructed in 1859 and 1927.

However, you can walk along the Parliament, but a tour is highly recommended to know all about the history and architecture of the building. These tours are provided for no cost and last only 45 minutes. Tours are for the east and center block.

National Gallery

The National Gallery of Canada is home to an amazing collection of Canadian art. The giant spider placed in front of the gallery is the main attraction. One can see Maman, a famous sculpture created and designed by Louise Bourgeois.

Some of the main attractions of this place include artworks by Picasso, Michelangelo, da Vinci, in addition to contemporary and indigenous pieces.

Chateau is one of the flagship hotels. After going back from the opening of the Chateau, he took Titanic and could never watch his dream come true.
