Ottawa
Ontario
Located in Southern Ontario, Ottawa is Canada’s capital, and the seat of the federal government. With the Rideau Canal running down the middle and parks speckled throughout, Ottawa is a beautiful, picturesque place. With renowned Victorian architecture, world famous museums and art galleries and some of the best restaurants in the country, Ottawa is a city worth seeing — especially from the seat of a Bird e-scooter.
