Route from Montréal
Montréal → Ottawa
The capital two hours away, and the only one of the long trips that fits comfortably into a single day.

- Distance
- About 200 km along Autoroute 40, then Ontario’s Highway 417.
- Estimated duration
- About two hours each way, depending on traffic leaving Montréal.
Parliament Hill
The Gothic Revival architecture, the Peace Tower and the view over the Ottawa River. Guided tours of the buildings are booked separately, by you.
The national museums
The National Gallery, the Canadian War Museum, and the Canadian Museum of History across the bridge in Gatineau. Two in one day is already a lot.
The business trip
Up in the morning, back at the end of the day, with the driver available between meetings: this is the trip that suits that best.
Before you set off
- Ottawa is in Ontario, so the trip crosses a provincial border — with no formalities for passengers.
- In winter the Rideau Canal becomes a skating rink when the ice allows. Nobody can guarantee the date.
