The Beauties of Canada

At Ottawa I had the opportunity of visiting the Parliament Hill which is located in the downtown of Ottawa and It was amazing, it is a place full of culture, tradition and history. Personally, I am passionate about history and politics, which made my visit in Parliament Hill an awesome experience. As we weren´t able to go inside the building it is not precisely a place to learn much about, but it is a place where you can appreciate beauty and revive times of the 1800s with the structure that surrounds the place. Moreover, near this location you can go and visit the Museum of Nature (Which only takes 6min to arrive by car from Parliament Hill), the National Art Gallery, or the National Arts Center (which is literally 2 minutes away from the Parliament Hill), we weren't able to go because as we were touring we had an specific schedule. After visiting the place, if you are looking for lunch, about 6 to 7 blocks from there, there's this Aiana Restaurant were I had lunch with my family and if you are looking for a place to stay, 5 blocks from the Parliament Hill there is the Sheraton Ottawa Hotel  which is a very comfy an secure but as it is located in Downtown Ottawa the prices are high. 

This location was the best of the whole trip. We had lunch at the Skylon Tower which is an emblematic place in Canada and we saw the amazing Niagara Falls in all its splendor and from different angles. I really recommend visiting this place it is worth the experience and the feeling. Also, the food was great (a little expensive, like 50 dollars each plate but delicious). After lunch, we went inside the Niagara Falls and ride a boat in Maid of the Mist. A cold but unbelievable experience, they gave us a waterproof kit to avoid getting completely wet, it was useless because we did get very wet but it was part of the moment and the adventure. Appreciating the landscape and the feeling of natural water falling from a lovely monument was great! it is truly a natural wonder! 

If you think that having lunch at the Skylon Tower is expensive, there are Hotels were you can go and eat for a lower price and also have fun, like the Hilton Niagara falls, the Seneca Niagara Resort or four points By Sheraton, all the resorts are located no more than 10 minutes away from the Niagara Falls area. 

Toronto is recognized by having many business, technology, entertainment and cultural areas. It was a great experience to visit the Nathan Phillips Square, due to the fact that as it was an important emblem and very often they use the place for exhibitions and artistic presentations, it is always a very nice place to walk around full of life and color, it is a must to take a picture with de big sign that says ''Toronto''. When we went to the location, it was not a surprise that there was a lot of cultural variety because it is known that Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world. With my family we became friends with an Indu family that were living in Iceland and we started talking and sharing cultural experiences which was a super fun moment, they became our companions throughout the tour. I recommend visiting this place specially on holidays the decoration is beautiful. 

Near by there are restaurants like Hendrik's Restaurant and bar which is 3 blocks away or the Za Cafe Pizerra and Bar which is 4 blocks away (this was actually the place were me and my family ate something and I recommend it). If you wish to see other important locations you can go to the CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium of Canada or the St. Lawrence Market (Which is 6minutes away from Nathan Phillips Square).
