Top 4 nightlife & evening things to do in Ottawa

Ottawa after dark. Jazz bars, food crawls that start at 9 PM, sundowner cruises, and the rooftops worth the climb. Curated for travellers who'd rather their evenings be a story than a queue.

    1. Ottawa historical highlights walking tour

    5.0· 23 reviews· 2 hours

    Two hours of guided walking from the Bear Catching Fish Statue, delving into Ottawa's history with expert local commentary and key sites including Parliament Hill.

    Our historical walking tour of Ottawa with Sophia was thoroughly enjoyable. Her genuine pride in Ottawa's and Canada’s history, along with her honest take on its imperfections, made her an outstanding guide. We highly recommend the Ottawa Walking Tours team for an entertaining couple of hours filled with local history.rollinhand

  3. Night driving tour of Ottawa with river cruise, Ottawa3

    3. Night driving tour of Ottawa with river cruise

    4.3· 27 reviews· 2.5 hours

    Three hours in a comfortable van — enjoy a river cruise followed by a narrated driving tour of Ottawa's illuminated landmarks.

    The tour offered the same views as the boat ride and did not include a light show. We requested the guide return us to the hotel. Another family left just before us. It felt like a waste of time and money.Donna_C
  4. Ottawa small group tour with Rideau Canal cruise, Ottawa4

    4. Ottawa small group tour with Rideau Canal cruise

    3.5· 22 reviews· 3.5 hours

    Three hours of walking, then a scenic Rideau Canal cruise — explore ByWard Market, the Royal Canadian Mint, and Parliament Hill with a guide before cruising the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    The boat cruise segment of the tour was excellent, and the guide was quite knowledgeable. However, the walking tour left something to be desired; although the guide was friendly, they lacked expertise.Sunshine823731
