Ottawa: In the Eyes of a Street Artist
Get to know Ottawa’s diverse urban art scene through its street and public art. From amateurs to well-known artists – and a few hidden gems – this experience invites you to find dancing lions in Chinatown, learn about one of the world’s greatest inventors in Little Italy, and track down a charming café courtyard with art on every wall.
You can walk, bike, or e-scooter your way around the city. If you don’t have one, you can rent from Escape Bicycle Tours and Rentals at 65 Sparks St.
