Planning a two day trip to Ottawa. Any ideas on what to see and do.


My lady and i are planning a two day trip in Ottawa this coming late June. Any ideas from anyone about what to see and what to do there in Ottawa. Any information would be greatly appreciated. We plan on driving there. Cheers.

War Museum FOR SURE!!! When I went with our daughter last fall we both agreed that and Chaudiere Falls (lit up at night with music) were the trip highlights.

By the way, we are not planning on any government building trips there. I do not want to boil my blood, knowing all the criminals that (work) in those buildings.

My daughter kept looking at me during the guided tour of Parliament and whispering "Dad, don't say anything!"

You will enjoy the War Museum, I guarantee it.

Check out the USSR embassy, tell Mr. G Solntsev I'd like to buy the original Oshawa floor mats for the Embassy 67 if he still has them.

The aviation museum is good. They've got the nose of one of the Avro Arrow's.

Some food ideas:

The "Robbie's Special" at Robbie's Italian Restaurant on St. Laurent Blvd. - You won't be disappointed. The place might look a little fancy, but it's for everybody.

And for something a bit different, Louis' Restaurant & Pizzeria on McArthur Ave. Small tables and cute french servers.

As you can likely tell, I like Italian food.

I've been watching this thread with some interest as well as my plans are to be there June 10 and 11th. I have to be at the airport on the 11th in the afternoon for a pickup. Looking forward to checking out the city to see what it has to offer.

If you see a dark blue 66 Grande Parisienne running around, check it out, it might be my old factory 4 speed 427 car!

Spend the extra money and stay downtown-that way you can walk everywhere-the politicians are on a very long summer vacation so take a trip thru the parliament buildings -they are awesome-the library there will blow your mind-the Byward market is great as well as the war museum-take the tour of the mint-very interesting tour-if you ever have the chance go there for Canada day-it is an amazing day-we go there every few years and enjoy it!!!
Keep on Cruising!

 I haven't been to the museum since it first opened in the late 80's, so hopefully the Arrow nose is still on display.

I have over the years stayed at many B&B places and now Air B&B

They both have websites and you get to talk with people who actually live there and are delighted to entertain you with a hearty breakfast with all of the pertinent information to make your stay great..... you may want to stay a few extra days for the B&B or Air B&B experience.

Enjoy you trip
