How to Get Around

Once you have arrived in Ottawa, getting from one place to another is easy. Ottawa’s public transportation system, OC Transpo, is easy to use and convenient. It includes both buses and the light rail O-Train. Taxis, tour buses and riverboat companies all offer great ways to see the city.

Ottawa is a great city for walking, cycling or inline skating! Most of the major attractions in the downtown area are within walking distance of each other. The bike paths throughout the whole city are another great way to take in the full beauty of Ottawa.

If you choose to drive around town, whether around town or to scenic spots, parking is readily available. Make sure to check out the roadwork and street closures so that you can plan your route.
