When we have visitors from afar, we always take the opportunity to tourist a little here in Ottawa even too. There's always someone who comes who doesn't know any area yet or always has who (and includes us) who want to revisit some favorite locations in the heart of the Canadian capital.
Behim we chose a hot Sunday to stroll around downtown Ottawa with the whole gang. One of the points we haven't visited in a while now and that just confirmed it's a great spot to add to the Ottawa itinerary is Nepean Point. This "lookout" is behind the National Gallery of Canada, bordering on yours that goes to Alexandra Bridge. It's not a long walk from Byward Market and well say, nor if you're in Parliament, then it's well worth it, in my opinion. From there you can see almost everything important, with a privileged view.
Check out some of the photos of the day:
