Originally known as Bytown, Canada’s capital city - Ottawa was established as an agricultural community, in the nineteenth century. The town was founded in 1826, across Rideau Canal, by Philemon Wright who first created a settlement here in 1800.
Over the centuries, Ottawa has grown in size and potential and emerged as one of the largest cities of the country. Situated in Southern Ontario, near the south end of Ottawa River, the Canadian capital city shares its borders with Quebec and Gatineau, which together with Ottawa form the National Capital Region. Today Ottawa stands as a technological and political hub of the country with a thriving multi-cultural element to it.
Rated as the ‘second cleanest city in the country’, the ‘third cleanest in the world’, the city with the ‘second highest quality of living’ (as seen in any of the large cities in North and South America), and the ‘best community to live in’ (in the country), it is easy to understand why visitors love to book their business class tickets to Ottawa.
Ottawa has a sultry continental climate with four distinctive seasons. The summers season is rather warm and humid and winters bring with them ice and snow. The months of fall and spring too are prone to extreme temperatures which are at times unpredictable.
The city is known for hosting a wide array of fests all year round. From music to food to patriotism, the city celebrates everything with great enthusiasm. Few of the best events worth booking your Ottawa business flights for are Winterlude, Canadian Tulip Festival, Canada Day, Fringe Festival etc.
