Inside: Frankfurt Airport

Frankfurt Airport is one of the largest and busiest airports in the world. When flying to Ottawa, you will likely be flying with Air Canada, which operates out of the large Terminal 1. You will have countless shopping and dining options at the airport. Furthermore, Frankfurt Airport has some unique offerings, such as an outdoor viewing terrace where you can watch the planes land and take off, a behind-the-scenes tour, art installations, and regular musical concerts. Remember that while Frankfurt Airport is well run and efficient, it is quite large and it may take a while for you to get from the check-in counter to your gate. Also, this is an international route, so make sure you have your passport with you.

Landing in Ottawa International

Ottawa International consists of just one terminal, so you needn't worry about getting lost when you land. After you land, you will pick up your bags and then clear customs. Once you are in the arrivals hall you can grab a snack at either the Tim Hortons or the Bytown Marche. Ottawa is a fairly car-friendly city, so you may want to consider renting a car for the duration of your stay. Otherwise, you can take a taxi or public transit (use Bus 97) in order to get downtown.

Ottawa offers a wealth of attractions no matter the season. During the spring the Tulip Festival attracts large crowds who enjoy the colourful floral arrangements. In winter, meanwhile, the Winterlude Festival is one of the biggest of its kind in Canada and it turns the Rideau Canal into a massive skating rink. Other sites, such as the Parliament Hill, the Museum of History, the National Gallery, and the War Memorial are popular all year round. If you are looking for a drink or a place to eat, the historic Byward Market neighbourhood is where you will want to head to. If you have an extra day or two, you can make a day trip to Gatineau Park or to the cosmopolitan city of Montreal, which is about 2 hours away by car.
