Car

If you choose to use your car to tour the Canadian Tulip Festival, we encourage you to follow the Tulip Route along the scenic Queen Elizabeth Driveway, which follows the Rideau Canal from downtown Ottawa to Dow’s Lake. The Driveway allows you to take in some of the most beautiful parts of Ottawa, as well as the many tulip beds planted alongside it.
