Plaza Bridge
Plaza Bridge crosses the canal between Parliament Hill and the Château Laurier, above the Ottawa Locks. The short crossing opens layered views of the canal, hotel, Parliament and river.
Pause at the bridge railings: a slight change of angle brings the locks, river, Parliament, and hotel into a single composition. Because the crossing is brief, it can change how you understand several landmarks at once before you descend to the locks or continue toward the market.
What to look for
The bridge looks down on the locks between the hotel and Parliament.
Useful to know
Stop at a safe bridge viewpoint without blocking the busy pedestrian crossing.
