Discover Parliament, the centre of Canadian democracy, with four free visitor experiences!
Take a guided tour of the Senate of Canada Building, Ottawa’s former train station and a showpiece of Beaux-Arts architecture, just one block from Parliament Hill. Explore the House of Commons at West Block, a 19th-century building full of modern design. Or take an immersive virtual journey into Centre Block while the real building is closed for rehabilitation. In the summer months, you can also visit East Block and discover life at Parliament in the 1870s.
All visits are offered free of charge, but reservations are recommended.
Note: As of April 7, 2025, visitors to the House of Commons at West Block must present a piece of government-issued photo ID upon arrival. Please see the House of Commons Tours page for more information.
