Canada
Canada celebrates its native people's history to a far greater extent than its southern neighbour, and this museum provides a wonderful introduction to an artistically rich culture.
The museum is actually across the bridge on the Quebec side in Hull, right on the banks of the river.
Originally built as a supply route (via the Ottawa River) between Montreal and the Great Lakes in the event of an invasion by the US that never happened, it is the longest working canal in North America and - in winter - the longest skating rink in the world.
You can rent bikes or skates at the canal near the Chateau Laurier Hotel.
