Parliament Hill is at the political heart of Canada. Situated on a bluff overlooking the Ottawa River, it is actually a collection of three turn-of-the-century Gothic structures known as the East Block, Centre Block and West Block. The West Block and East Block contain the offices of Members of Parliament. The House of Commons and the Senate are located in the Centre Block with its soaring Peace Tower. Admission is free.

  • Very informative.
  • Can't go all the places I wanted to go.

“Government is never very exciting but this tour was really very good. There are tours available in English and French (of course) leaving alternately. The security checkpoint goes quickly despite them being the most thorough checkpoint I've been through to date. Our tour guide knew the answers to every question asked of her. She seemed to be very excited and proud of the workings of Parliment and that made it more so for the group. The trip up the Peace Tower was worth it and the elevator operator was very funny.

And, it's air conditioned. If you go in the late spring or summer, be aware Ottawa is very muggy. Bring water and try to visit places with good a/c. ”
