Ottawa honours a long tradition of Canadian culture and history in the many world-class institutions in the city: the National Arts Centre, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and the National Gallery of Canada, to name just a few.

In May 1855, Louis-Joseph Papineau named his property “MonteBello,” and in 1878, the town was officially founded. The spirit of the Papineau family still reigns at the Manor, at the family burial chapel and in the village where history has been well preserved. With its international reputation, Montebello is a four-season destination where hospitality is at its best. Bordering the Ottawa River and with two marinas, it allows vacationers to enjoy a wide array of activities, such as golf, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, hunting and fishing. Great restaurants, the Omega Park, the impressive Fairmont Le Château Montebello, beautiful inns and charming B&Bs make Montebello a top destination.
