The ByWard Market is Ottawa's busiest corner, with food stalls, patios and old stone buildings that look good at night. Spend the afternoon walking the Rideau Canal, then cross to Major's Hill Park for sunset behind Parliament. After dark, climb the stairs to The Lookout on York Street, the queer bar with drag at the weekend and a balcony with a view of the Hill.
In August, Capital Pride fills Centretown and the parade heads down Bank Street. Any other weekend, a bike ride along the canal is plenty.
