Many of the city's sights are closely grouped to make this a very walkable city, from Parliament Hill and its grounds, where the country's political power rests, to the Rideau Center and the Byward Market, for shopping and lunch, and on to the Rideau Canal, which is beautiful to walk along during the summer, and becomes the world's longest skating rink in the winter. Ottawa has officially applied to have the Rideau Canal marked as a UNESCO world heritage site. The Museum of Civilization and the National Art Gallery are both nearby and are a great way to while away a day.
