Best time to travel to Ottawa

June, July, and August are the peak months for tourism in Ottawa, with many people preferring to explore the city in the sunshine. Spring has pleasant weather too, with the added bonus of seeing flowers blooming in the parks, lower prices on many accommodations, and shorter queues at tourist attractions.
