What are the best places to take pictures in Ottawa?
Whether you have lived in Ottawa all your life or you are planning on visiting for the first time, everyone needs a bucket list. During our 2 years in Ottawa, we have amassed a list longer than my arm of all the amazing activities, locations, and family-friendly things to do in Ottawa but what about photo locations?
While I would never profess to be a professional photographer, I do enjoy taking nice pictures here and there. My biggest problem is knowing where to find these “hidden gems”.

Bank st. Bridge over the canal is popular for picture taking, especially at night.
