At Lansdowne Park, wooden chalets line up under the garlands. Artisans sell handmade decorations and holiday treats, the air smells of cinnamon, and one cup of mulled wine is enough to warm your fingers. The Ottawa Christmas Market feels like a European village, without crossing the Atlantic.
The first afternoon starts at the ByWard Market, with its shops and restaurants. The next day, a local guide shows you Gatineau and then Ottawa, across the river, before the afternoon at the Christmas market. Both evenings are spent at the Lac-Leamy Hotel-Casino, with a $20 gaming credit each night. The last day leads to the Canadian Museum of History, whose curving architecture faces Parliament.

Travel insuranceSynergia network group departures
Advisors in the Voyages Synergia network build their own escorted group departures every year, with limited places. These are trips born of a passion rather than a catalogue: fishing in Guatemala, safari in East Africa, guided expeditions. The list above changes with the seasons.
What sets these departures apart
- A Quebec tour leader who knows the destination and travels with the group
- A restricted number of places, often a few dozen, sometimes fewer than ten
- A clear theme, built around one activity rather than a destination alone
- Fixed dates: you join the departure, you do not build it
How to book
Each departure has its own responsible advisor. Choose the trip that interests you in the list, then reach us through the contact page for remaining places and terms. These departures often fill months ahead.
Other ways to travel as a group
If no date suits you, two other routes exist: organized trips, already built and sold by tour operators, and a custom group, built around your own participants. Voyages AquaTerra holds Quebec permit 702703.
