Rideau Street
Rideau Street links the canal with the ByWard Market district and Lower Town. Use it as an urban connector with busy traffic and retail rather than as a single attraction.
Why go
Its usefulness is spatial: follow the change from canal-side institutions to market streets and Lower Town rather than lingering in traffic. The value lies in seeing the transition into the ByWard district, not in giving this traffic corridor the same time as a museum or park.
What to look for
The streetscape shifts from canal-side institutions toward market blocks.
Useful to know
Use the street to connect the canal and market; watch crossings on this busy corridor.
