Rideau Hall
Rideau Hall is the governor general's official residence in Rockcliffe Park. Landscaped grounds, commemorative trees, and the residence bring Canada's ceremonial life into a quieter setting.
Why go
The grounds reveal a different scale of national symbolism from Parliament Hill. Look for planted trees and monuments that record visits and public occasions, then consider how the residence remains an active institution. The outdoor setting and interior tours offer separate experiences with different access arrangements.
