Ottawa Maps and Orientation
(Ottawa, Ontario - ON, Canada)



As Canada's proud capital city and part of the National Capital Region, Ottawa is a city of great importance and status. With just under one million residents, Ottawa is in fact the fourth-largest city in Canada, after Toronto, Montreal and also Calgary.

Ottawa is located in the Canadian state of Ontario and on the eastern banks of the Ottawa River, directly to the south of nearby Gatineau and west of Montreal. This lively cosmopolitan city makes the very most of its riverside setting and scenery, with a surrounding greenbelt region. There are also many parks and trails on offer here, and these are highly suitable for cycling, jogging or simply walking.
