À propos
Faits rapides: Environ 3 millions de visiteurs viennent chaque année sur la colline aux trois bâtiments de grès emblématiques. La Tour de la Paix, haute de 92 mètres, abrite un carillon de 53 cloches qui sonne régulièrement.
Points forts: Chaque été, la pelouse devant l'édifice du Centre se transforme en un gigantesque cinéma en plein air de plus de 10 000 spectateurs, lorsque la lumière et le laser plongent la façade dans un paysage sonore spectaculaire. Le spectacle nocturne son et lumière « Northern Lights » raconte l'histoire du Canada avec des projections qui atteignent le sommet de la tour et donnent vie à la surface de grès.
Conseils d'initiés
- 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.
