Teave

Kiired faktid: Umbes 3 miljonit külastajat saabub igal aastal künkale, kus asuvad kolm silmatorkavat liivakivist hoonet. 92 meetri kõrguses Rahutornis asub 53 kellast koosnev kellamäng, mis heliseb regulaarselt.

Esiletõstmised: Igal suvel muutub muruplats Centre Blocki ees tohutuks vabaõhukinoks, kus on üle 10 000 pealtvaataja, kui valgus ja laserid muudavad fassaadi suurejooneliseks helimaastikuks. Öine heli- ja valgusshow "Northern Lights" jutustab Kanada ajalugu projektsioonidega, mis ulatuvad kuni tornitipuni ja muudavad liivakivipinna elavaks.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Come early in the morning at 9 am for the first tour, and you'll have the halls almost all to yourself.
The best photo spot is not directly in front of the building, but from the footbridge over Wellington Street.
Take your time for the Parliament Library, a real insider tip with carved walls and a dome of white marble.
Even in rain the visit is still worthwhile: the tours take place and the underground corridors connect all three buildings without getting wet.
