Senate of Canada

As part of the ongoing renovations on Parliament Hill, the Senate has permanently moved across the street into Ottawa's old train station. Tours last around 30 minutes and are great for history and political boffins. It's best to book in advance on the website as there are no tours when the Senate is in session.
