Walking, Biking & Scooters
Strategically located in the center of the Ottawa-Gatineau capital region, Chinatown is within walking distance from downtown Ottawa and Parliament Hill especially on a nice day. It is a pleasant walk from many downtown hotels to discover this multicultural village with an Asian flavour.
