The beautiful Canadian capital city of Ottawa lies in the southeastern corner of Ontario along the banks of three rivers: the Ottawa, Gatineau and Rideau. Ottawa is also the financial, business and scientific research capital of the country with more than 1,800 technology companies.
The city celebrates its rich cultural heritage with museums and community events: the Canadian Museum of Civilization traces 1,000 years of Canadian inhabitants, and Aboriginal Experiences is a summertime attraction where aboriginal artists teach about native culture. Citizens of Ottawa love the arts and display their affection for music, dance and art in several festivals throughout the year, including the Ottawa Bluesfest, the Ottawa International Jazz Festival and the Canadian Dance Festival. Other Ottawa attractions include the world-famous 18-day Canadian Tulip Festival, showcasing more than three million tulips.
