Nepean Point, the hill that overlooks the Parliament Buildings, the Ottawa River, the Museum of Civilization, and the rest of downtown Ottawa, is a great place from which to view the architecture and attractions of the capital city of Canada especially during dusk, as the buildings are beautifully lit.
Parliament Hill is located on the Ottawa River and is the home of the Parliament Buildings of Canada, the best known of which is the Centre Block, with the Peace Tower, the tall building which features the clock.
Parliament Hill used to be the first site that European traders saw when they came to the continent.

This contains the House of Commons and the Senate Chamber and of course, the famous Peace Tower. ... continue below the picture...
