The 10 Best Monuments & Statues in Ottawa, Canada

September 11, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Canada's capital is a compact, clean, cleverly planned center of culture and politics and a destination for every season. Start downtown at the architecturally stunning National Gallery of Canada, and don't miss the Canadian Museum of Nature and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. Rideau Canal offers boating in the summer and turns into the world’s largest skating rink when frozen in the winter. Gatineau Park attracts cyclists and walkers, while Byward Market blends old and new Ottawa.

Famous Five Monument

Reviewed By redsgothenburg - Fort William, United Kingdom

A beautiful group sculpture, well situated near Parliament, celebrating the significant contribution of five women to the history of Canada. A timely reminder of the part women have played in the creation of modern day Canada. Information boards provide short biographies of the five plus a number of other influential Canadian women. Don’t pass this by without giving it due attention!

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Reviewed By AnneM852

This was very moving.. - We left a poppy on the tomb of the unknown soldier,, it was in Sept. - We took many videos, of the statues, plaques, depicting WW1 and WW2, Korea, Vietnam, etc., to the present... - They have areas where you can sit and contemplate/reflect on those terrible times where so many lost their lives, so we could be free.. - It's a must when visiting Ottawa, and while you're there, you can watch the changing of the guard..
