All the car you really need? Ottawa’s famous network of car-free bicycle paths links all parts of the city. Coasting along stunningly beautiful paths most downtown destinations are less than 20 minutes from Metropia’s doorstep. A delightful canal-side ride takes you to City Hall in about 10 minutes. Allow another few minutes to reach world-class performances at Ottawa’s famed National Arts Centre, Sparks Street, or Parliament Hill.
Metropia + bicycle: anything more will seem like … less. Admire passing pleasure boats as you cycle down the east side of the Rideau Canal to reach the University of Ottawa, the charming bistros and terrace bars of the ByWard market or fashion outlets at the Rideau Centre. Start a weekend with a short ride to catch the treasures at the National Gallery, followed up with brunch at a ByWard market culinary hotspot.
