Autumn is definitely the most beautiful season in Canada, with its vibrant foliage blanketing the country like a warm blanket. If you visit Canada in the fall, you absolutely can’t miss these seasonal highlights — especially in its capital, Ottawa (Ottawa), known as the Garden City, which attracts over two million visitors every year.

In spring, from April to May, the city bursts into bloom with gorgeous tulips. The rich, saturated colors beautifully decorate the entire urban landscape, earning it the reputation as the City of Tulips. After September, the maple leaves turn red, painting the city in hues of crimson, showcasing another stunning side of this Garden City.

1. Gatineau Park
Known as the "Country of Maple Leaves," Canada is currently in the best season to admire the foliage. With just a 15-minute drive away from the bustling downtown, you can escape the noise and head to Gatineau Park for leaf-peeping, sightseeing, and enjoying the views from above. In recent years, it has not only become a favorite spot for Ottawans to view the foliage but also attracts millions of tourists from around the world.
