Downtown Ottawa

Canada

Downtown Ottawa shares 51 connections with 1398 other places across 14 topics, concentrated in government, landmarks, and transportation. The area's street grid anchors many of these ties: Wellington, Sparks, and Elgin streets host the district's prominent buildings, while an LRT tunnel runs beneath Queen Street east to Rideau Street. The ByWard Market and Rideau Centre extend the downtown boundary east of the Rideau Canal into Lower Town. Connections reach Toronto, Montreal, and Gatineau, as well as London, England, through shared political and civic events including the Canada convoy protest and the state funeral of Elizabeth II.
