As the air turns crisp and the city is draped in brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold, there’s no shortage of things to see and do. Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, or seasonal festivities, Ottawa in the fall offers something for everyone.

1. Explore the Fall Colours in Gatineau Park

Just a short drive from Best Western Plus Ottawa City Centre, Gatineau Park is a must-see in the fall. With over 165 km of trails, it’s perfect for hiking, biking, or simply enjoying a scenic drive. Don’t miss the lookout points like Champlain Lookout for breathtaking panoramic views of the changing leaves.

2. Visit the ByWard Market

One of Ottawa’s most iconic neighbourhoods, the ByWard Market comes alive in the fall with farmers’ stands offering fresh local produce, warm apple cider, and handmade crafts. Enjoy cozy cafes and seasonal treats as you stroll through the historic streets.

3. Enjoy a Fall Festival

Autumn in Ottawa is filled with festivals and events. Check out Fall Rhapsody in Gatineau Park, Pumpkinferno at Upper Canada Village, or a local harvest festival to experience fall like a local.

4. Discover the Rideau Canal

While the canal is famous for winter skating, it’s equally charming in the fall. Walk or bike along the pathways lined with colourful trees, or take a guided boat cruise to see Ottawa from a new perspective.
