Every spring, during the transition from April to May, the city bursts into bloom with dazzling tulips, whose rich, saturated colors beautifully decorate the urban landscape, earning it the title of City of Tulips. After September, the maple leaves gradually turn red, painting the city in vibrant hues and showcasing another beautiful side of the Garden City.

Known as the “Land of Maple Leaves,” Canada is now in the prime season for leaf peeping. Just a 15-minute drive from the bustling city center takes you to Gatineau Park, where you can admire the maple scenery, enjoy the views, and take in the panorama from the heights. In recent years, it has not only become a popular destination for Ottawans to view the foliage, but also attracts millions of visitors from around the world.
