Canadian locale: Ottawa
For: Let’s be honest here, it’s for anyone who wants a glimpse of our celeb prime minister, Justin Trudeau
Why you must go: To indulge your national pride, to try a Beaver Tail — a flaky whole-wheat pastry dusted in cinnamon and icing sugar and served piping hot — and stroll the quaint streets of our nation’s capital. Bike ride along the Rideau Canal during the steamy summer months or wait until the Rideau Canal freezes over in the winter to skate past Parliament Hill, hot chocolate in hand. Be sure to hit up the Byward Market, one of the oldest markets in Canada, to browse through the works of local artisans and hit up The Chateau Lafayette, Ottawa’s oldest tavern. Then take a tour of the House of Commons and hope that, just maybe, you can spot our beloved PM Trudeau strolling the halls and (politely, because this is still Canada) ask him for a selfie.
