It really is beautiful. And the bike path network is outstanding!!
I generally don't like cities much but I like this one.
Many years ago, when I used to follow sports car racing, I made a couple side trips through Ottawa, when I was on the way to and from the races at St, Jovite, in Quebec Province. St. Jovite is at the base of Mt. Tremblant, which is a famous ski area in wintertime. Beautiful country up there. Quebec City is another great place to visit, if you ever get the chance.
