Portage Bridge viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

This viewpoint looks out over the Ottawa River from the Portage Bridge, which connects Ottawa with Gatineau. Built in 1973, the bridge crosses the river just west of Parliament Hill and serves as a major link between the two cities.

From here you can take in wide views of the river and the surrounding skyline, and Parliament Hill. The bridge also carries a cycling lane alongside the pedestrian path, so be mindful to stay out of the bike lane while stopping to enjoy the view or take photos.

View of Parliament Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this point on the Sentier des Voyageurs, you get one of the clearest views of Parliament Hill across the Ottawa River. With the river directly in front of you and the historic buildings rising on the opposite bank, the perspective here places you almost perfectly across from the Peace Tower and the main Parliament complex. It’s one of the best spots along the trail to pause and take in the iconic skyline of Canada’s capital.

Library of Parliament

Highlight • Monument

Walking along the paths around Parliament Hill brings you right beside the striking Library of Parliament. Built in 1876 in a distinctive circular Gothic Revival style, the library serves as the research centre for Canada’s Parliament. It is also the only part of the original Parliament complex to survive the devastating fire of 1916. Passing close to the building offers a chance to admire its intricate stonework, flying buttresses, and copper roof from ground level.
