Autumn is here, and soon our beautiful city will look stunning in those amazing fall colours! 🍁🍂 If you're a newcomer and this is going to be your first fall season in Ottawa I guess you're feeling thrilled and eager to see Mother Nature’s spectacular show. It's really amazing!!! 😍 Recently I was asked about my recommendations for where to see beautiful Autumn landscapes in Ottawa, so here they are:

1. In the heart of downtown you shouldn't miss Major's Hill Park, the oldest park in Ottawa. Not only is it beautiful and very well kept, but in Autumn it looks magnificent with beautiful yellow and orange hued trees.

2. The first part of the Rideau Canal in downtown looks stunning in Autumn, and if you walk towards the footbridge with the love locks, you'll have a spectacular view with the Chateau Laurier in the distance.

3. The Arboretum is one place that you really need to see in Autumn. Awesome trees, a charming bridge and pond, and it's beside Dow's Lake, making it all a beautiful and romantic landscape.

4. The Glebe in Autumn is amazing. I love this neighborhood in Ottawa because it's full of charming and hidden spots. In Fall the sector along the Rideau Canal between Landsdowne Park and Bank St Bridge is stunning with big trees showing the brightest orange leaves.

5. Mer Bleue Bog is a popular spot in Autumn for many Ottawans. The place is not only beautiful but enigmatic and mystical, and transmits a real sense of peace.

Well, first and foremost my recommendation above all is that you get outdoors the minute there's sun. On sunny days the Autumn landscapes look just glorious! 🙌🏻 Sadly, during this season there can be many rainy days. So, you should take advantage of the good weather and enjoy the splendour of this amazing season as much as you can! Happy Autumn!! ☺️

Did you know that there are free guided tours everyday to visit the interior of Rideau Hall? Rideau Hall is the residence where the Governor General of Canada lives. It's a national historic site of 79 acres, located in the Rockcliffe neighborhood very close to downtown. The grounds of Rideau Hall are open everyday from 8am until one hour before sunset. You can explore the area by yourself, and see, for example, the more than 150 trees that members of the royal family and dignitaries have planted there. If you want to have a guided tour of the interior, you just have to show up and ask for a ticket (free). The guided tours are every 10 minutes from 10am to 2:40pm, and from 3pm to 4:30pm. You'll walk through the state rooms where the Governor General performs official duties. One interesting place is the Tent Room, which is used for receptions and dinners. It is in the shape of a tent, with walls and a ceiling decorated with pink stripes, while the floor is made of Carrera marble from Italy. Or the Ball Room, the most important room, used for ceremonies and where you can see a big neoclassical-style chandelier that has 12,000 pieces of crystal and weighs one ton. It has a 17mt x 11mt carpet crafted in one piece with no joining seams and which weighs 725 kilograms (1600lbs). The whole place is also home to a fine collection of Canadian art and furniture. Very interesting! These free tours run until September 5th. Don't miss them!! 😊

it’s coming up!!! 🥰😍🍁💪#beloved #fall #autumncolors #autumnvibes #fallraphsody #myottawa #myottawalife ...

At the end of August there was a festival that I included in my weekly post about the events you won't want to miss. It was the Ratha Yatra Chariot Festival, which is actually a religious indian celebration that took place in Ottawa for the first time in 15 years. I couldn't attend it, and I wished I could see something about it on Instagram, but with no luck. Well, a couple of days ago I received pictures of this festival from the organizers ISKCON Ottawa. They were happy and surprised that they had approximately 800 Ottawan attendees, and 200 more from Montreal and Toronto. Sandy Hill became the scenario of this colourful celebration which features beautiful decorated chariots. It's an ancient dharmic festival where Lord Jagganath (a deitity) is placed on a chariot and pulled across the city streets. After that, all the people gathered at Sandy Hill Park where there was music, merchandise, and free sumptuous vegetarian food for all attendees! The organizers now are planning to celebrate a Ratha Yatra festival again next year! Aren't these pictures lovely? That's one thing that I love of Ottawa, it's a city very open to multiculturalism. How many cultural festivals from all over the world have you seen this summer? Phew! I lost count! Have a great weekend! 😊
