Written at on English with a size of 2.99 KB.

Ottawa (Description of a Place)

Ottawa is the capital of Canada, it's the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country. It is really multicultural and it has some spectacular scenery.
Ottawa is the best place to practice climbing because it has many mountainous and rocky spaces. Another wonderful activity is to visit the exotic forest that is in a remote area, but the best part of visiting the forest is that you can connect with nature. It is said that the wonderful landscape helps you to concentrate and be more relaxed.
I personally recommend visiting Ottawa because it's a good and peaceful city to live in. It is not as polluted and crowded with litter as others, and I really liked that place.
