28 Things You Must Do In The ByWard Market At Least Once

The best place in town.

If you've lived in Ottawa all your life then you know that the ByWard Market is the biggest attraction in Ottawa. It's comparable to Seattle's Public Market except obviously way smaller but still as cool. If you're looking for something to do when you're bored or if you're completely new to town, the ByWard Market has everything you need. Even just walking around the area makes for a great day with friends or your SO.

I'm sure most of us have toured the ByWard Market (a lot of us are probably guilty for mostly seeing it at 1 in the morning) but this is a step by step guide to show you all of the places you must check out. This is only a small list of the things you can do, but they're some of the best. So be a tourist in your own city and check out these 28 things you must do in the ByWard Market at least once.
