What to do and see in Ottawa, Canada: The Best Shopping Malls

October 12, 2021 Roger Rusk

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.

Rideau Centre

Shop-until-you-drop, seven days a week, at Ottawa's premier mall complex that offers more than two hundred shops, restaurants and services.

This mall has many good stores and I think the cleanest dining hall of any mall. If you get your food to stay it is served in real plates, bowls, glasses for your drink and metal cutlery. The food choices were great with many healthy options and reasonably priced.

Carlingwood Shopping Centre

Reviewed By Joanv223 - Kingston, Canada

This small, clean, friendly neighbourhood mall has everything one could want - with or without Sears as an anchor! Great grocer, dental clinic, optometrist, banking; good selection clothing, shoes, gift and speciality shops; reasonable food court and coffeeshops. Could do with another restaurant or pub. Nice to have the YMCA on site as well. Much prefer this than large, sprawling Bayshore, St. Laurent, Riocan or Outlet destinations. Definitely pedestrian friendly as well as easy, plenty parking.
