Parliament Hill

Astounding. The buildings are massive. There's just no way to fully grasp how big these fabulous buildings are without seeing them in person. There was a lot of construction going on, but still worth going. I took the tour of the House of Commons. It was interesting, fun, and educational. Well worth the 40-45 minutes standing & walking. They have stools they provide for you to carry with you is you cannot stand that long. I used one, it was great, sturdy, easy to use & carry.

Nice place to visit, but the parliament building is under construction. So the front was literally closed with cranes so could not get the good pictures. This update should be on google to inform visitors in advance. Also, we came to know that we could actually visit inside the House of Commons, senator building, but free tickets were required and those were no more available. When we search, places to visit in Ottawa, city should make sure to mention that we could visit the inside of these buildings as well. This would have actually made our trip better and more informative if could book the tickets in advance.

Parliament Hill is an iconic symbol of Canada’s history, democracy, and architectural beauty. The stunning Gothic Revival buildings and the scenic views of the Ottawa River make it a must-see destination. Visitors can enjoy guided tours, the ceremonial Changing of the Guard, and the impressive evening light show. Whether day or night, Parliament Hill captures the spirit and pride of the nation beautifully...

Great tour of the House of Commons. Very informative and the your guide was bilingual which was great. Tour lasted about an hour. Make sure to make reservations in advance or you may not get on the tour time you’d like. Also make sure to have all the proper documentation that is listed on the website. Be prepared to go through a security check similar to what you would at an airport. Tours cost nothing to book. This is a temporary home to the House of Commons until the main block’s construction is complete in 2030/2031.

The Parliament building is so beautiful in every season. People can find various events in first of July, Christmas, remembrance day and etc right there.nnThe Centennial flame: Commemorates Canada's 100th anniversary of Confederation 1867-1967. A flame burning through water in a fountain with a 12-sided base featuring provincial and territorial coats of arms.nnI hope the construction would be finished very soon.nI would like to share some pictures and videos from Parliament, very close to Christmas Eve.
