ByWard Market is Ottawa’s oldest neighborhood, built around an open-air farmers’ market that has operated continuously since 1826.
One of Canada’s Oldest Public Markets
The market building and surrounding stalls still sell produce and local goods much as they have for nearly two centuries, alongside the restaurants, bars, and boutiques that have filled in the historic buildings around it.
A Short Walk to Parliament Hill
ByWard Market sits close enough to Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, and the National Gallery of Canada that most visitors can reach all of them on foot from a market-area hotel.
