Ottawa Tulip Festival in May
Anyone been to the Tulip Festival with any interesting tips to share?
Was it worth travelling from Toronto? Also what is interesting about Montreal? Can you get by if you cannot speak French at all? |

The Museum of Civilization (www.civilization.ca) is wonderful. First get a look at its beautiful design from Parliament Hill, then drive or take the bus over to Gatineau to go inside. Oh, one more thing: the cat sanctuary at Parliament. Very nice! I think the original poster has probably gotten the idea by now that tulip festival or no tulip festival, Ottawa is a great place to visit. I really want to get back there sometime. Patty |

oups.com... Also what is interesting about Montreal? Can you get by if you cannot speak French at all? There's lots interesting about Montreal. Many say it's got more of a European flavour than pretty much any other city on this continent (excepting Quebec City). It's got great night life, some excellent restaurants, museums, skiing within an hour's drive (not in May, though), lots of history, and yes, enough people who speak English that you won't have any problems even if your French is non-existent.

Ottawa Tulip Festival in May
I am just heading off to Ottawa this weekend for WinterLude, their
winter festival. One one of these days I'll catch their tulip festival as well. In anticipation of my trip to Ottawa and as the creator of a travel website called www.travelandtransitions.com, I have done several interviews with officials from Ottawa: http://www.travelandtransitions.com/...ws/ottawa.htm: a general overview of Ottawa and all the things to see and do in Ottawa. http://www.travelandtransitions.com/...rd_market.htm: these are the folks from the ByWard Market, one of Ottawa's nicest entertainment/restaurant areas http://www.ottawatourism.ca/ is the official website for tourism in Ottawa and will give you further info about the tulip festival. Also, if you like to write travel stories, check out our new Travel Story Contest, http://www.travelandtransitions.com/contests.htm, you could win a fabulous expedition cruise on the Amazon River or other exciting travel prizes. I hope this info helped. As I said, I am heading off to Ottawa this weekend and will be writing detailed travel stories after I get back with first-hand insights of Ottawa. Best of luck, - Susanne www.travelandtransitions.com |
