Ottawa, Canada’s capital city is our destination for a three night stay. Known as one of the world’s most beautiful capitals, the city is especially beautiful during the popular Tulip Festival of Spring. Upon arrival in Ottawa we will check in at the impressive and historic Lord Elgin Hotel, located in the heart of Ottawa’s downtown government and business district, and only a short walk from some of the city’s major attractions. Each spring Ottawa is transformed into a wonderland of color with millions of tulips, the largest display in all of North America.
