Things to do in Ottawa, Canada: The Best Shopping

April 24, 2022 Natalie Tallman

Canada's capital is a compact, clean, cleverly planned center of culture and politics and a destination for every season. Start downtown at the architecturally stunning National Gallery of Canada, and don't miss the Canadian Museum of Nature and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. Rideau Canal offers boating in the summer and turns into the world’s largest skating rink when frozen in the winter. Gatineau Park attracts cyclists and walkers, while Byward Market blends old and new Ottawa.

ByWard Market

WITHIN an area roughly four blocks square, you'll find museums, cafes, specialty food shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants, pubs, hair & aesthetics salons and more! Easily accessible on foot, by transit or by car, the ByWard Market offers a unique experience for all. ESTABLISHED by Lt-Col. John By in 1826, the ByWard Market is one of Canada's oldest and largest public markets. The legendary builder of the Rideau Canal, Colonel By himself laid out the street plan of the Market, designating George Street and York Street to be extra wide to accommodate the creation of a public market and gathering place.

This is a fabulous area to shop in traditional shops, eat in fabulous pubs and restaurants, take in street performers (do tip them) and browse the many street vendors. Great produce, amazing flowers, wonderful bargains in tourist goodies

Ottawa Art Gallery

Reviewed By futtock21 - London, United Kingdom

Since I was last in Ottawa four years ago Ottawa Art Gallery in Daly Street has spawned a large cube with an entrance at the end of MacKenzie King Bridge, shortened its name to OAG (GAO in French), spruced itself up, added some welcome new facilities and generally brought itself into the twenty-first century. The John Ruddy cube (painted white not red) houses temporary exhibition spaces on each of its four floors. Today on the ground floor next to the shop paintings by Heidi Conrod called Magic Mirrors; on the first sculptural light installations by Juan Gevers; on the second works by eminent Canadian artists from the Firestone Collection. The biggest innovations, however, are on the lower ground floor where there is a large airy cafe and a children’s play room.

Rideau Centre

Shop-until-you-drop, seven days a week, at Ottawa's premier mall complex that offers more than two hundred shops, restaurants and services.

Reviewed By aprilpeterson22 - Minneapolis, United States

This mall has many good stores and I think the cleanest dining hall of any mall. If you get your food to stay it is served in real plates, bowls, glasses for your drink and metal cutlery. The food choices were great with many healthy options and reasonably priced.

Just received another Great piece of Kaliyana Designer Clothing! Marco Dress in Quatro Delphi! This piece is a showstopper and I am so looking forward to wearing it! I have often been stopped in the street and queried as to where my interesting clothes have been purchased. I buy in person whenever I get to Ottawa and most often shop online. Service is great, as is delivery.
