Ottawa is okay. There are some people, it did not make me feel anything one way or the other.
It was a beautiful city with friendly people and a lot of good food, shopping and events. I've recommended it to all of my friends from the U.S.
Very clean and friendly city, Will go back to see all the other places we didn't have time to see. Everyone made us feel at home. Wonderful :)
Ottawa is like the Washington DC of Canada. If you're a history buff or you love beautiful architecture you'll be surprised at how lovely and underrated this city is.
The City is Beautiful, Clean and Hospitable. The people are absolutely lovely and I will return, again and again.
