Located behind the National Gallery of Canada, Nepean Point is one of Ottawa's best lookouts. Situated on a hill next to the Ottawa River, here you can get dreamy sunset photos of the Parliament and the Canadian Museum of History.

An amazing view of everything that represents Canada; the Parliament buildings, National Art Museum, the Ottawa River and the Rideau Canal locks.

Best View in the city. Have to find a way to walk up here, since it's a little bit hidden. Ask!
