Ottawa - This is a compact capital city of some 750 000 people. The Rideau canal, which flows through the town is the dominant feature and visitors can sail along it for some interesting sights of the city. The city has a British feel to it where even Parliament building in downtown Ottawa is modeled along the Westminster building in London. In summer, the changing of the guard daily outside Parliament, with the Mounties in their red attire, has tones reminiscent of Buckingham Palace.
Toronto - Located on the banks of Lake Ontario, its most famous landmark is the CN Tower that hovers over the city giving panoramic views of the city to those that are brave enough to be elevated into the sky. It is the largest city in Canada with a population of 2,5 million. |
