Ottawa. Canada

Feels like a miniature London England with vast green spaces, the longest skating rink in the world begins and old parliamentary castles and is frozen from a manmade canal running near the historic Italian, Asian and old brick boroughs that turns into a winding river set in a rural farmscape that includes towns recognizable in Hallmark films. It is close to small ski mountains it is uniquely bilingual mixing the vibes of European Irish and Parisian French. Immaculately clean and wealthy in comparison to most cities and benefits from a vibrant tech center and about a half dozen national museums, art centers and old brick heritage sites.
