Thanks to "Open Skies", Ottawa is now serviced daily by 16 airlines, including flights from many major cities in Canada and the United States.  VIA Rail provides convenient daily train service to other major centres and both the rail and the bus terminals are located minutes from the downtown core.  Most of the major hotel chains are located in our hotel area map.  Please remember that Ottawa is a very compact city, and most hotels are within easy walking distance of Parliament Hill and museums.  The following section is to help you orientate yourself with Ottawa and the surrounding area.
