## Caption

It’s 0.8 extra kilometres of skating, starting right in the heart of downtown 🏙️⛸️ and going all the way to the Bank St Bridge in the Glebe. ✨

🚗 Parking tip: Park at the City Hall underground parking and walk to the canal. Easy peasy!

⛸️ Rest areas & rentals:

• The Rideau St entrance rest area will be open with skate rentals available
• Fifth Avenue (the Glebe) and Concorde (Old Ottawa East) rest areas also offer skate rentals plus BeaverTails stands for the famous Canadian dessert and hot chocolate 🍫☕

Happy skating!! ❄️✨

📌Ottawa’s Rideau Canal is the largest skating rink in the world and a must-see tourist attraction. 😍
