Library of Parliament, Government of Canada Review

Closed for construction. No information, just closed for work.

This is worth visiting. It is absolutely gorgeous. The carvings, the books, the style. It's really cool. If you visit Ottawa, this is the place for you.

Best free tour in Ottawa! I'm biased because the library is my area of expertise, but in fact, the Library of Parliament is one of the most beautiful libraries I've ever attended. The Parliament tour is a great way to learn more about Canadian history, especially how the government and the legislature operate, I recommend!

It is always been a pleasure to take a walk after dinner behind the library

Absolutely amazing. Never been to Ottawa. Very exciting. Great overall tour of Parliament.

don't mind me im just abusing the google review system and reviewing what ever i can like bus stops waste treatment plants and fire stations and what not

I highly recommend taking a free tour. Absolutely beautiful.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! YOU WILL FIND OUT IT IS CLOSED FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS AND THERE IS NO INFORMATION ABOUT IT ON THE WEBSITE. !!!!!!!

The place where you can feel the history! And panoramic view over the Ottawa river is amazing!

Absolutely beautiful historical library. One of the few buildings to have survived the 1916 fire.

Best free tour in Ottawa! I am biased as librarianship is my field of expertise but truly the library of parliament is one of the most beautiful libraries I have ever stepped into. The tour of Parliament is a great way to learn more about Canadian history especially how the government and legislative branch operates, I highly recommend it!

In 2018 we took part in one of the last tours. We were very impressed with the library, although it is not really old, it has a charisma.
The interior design is reminiscent of the reading room of the British Museum.
No less impressive from the outside with 16 buttresses they remind of a medieval chapter house.

Riveting and filled with history. A must visit for all.

The ticket center is far away. You have to return tickets back to the center if you don't want to go inside.

Don't miss this place if you visit Ottawa..Filled with Canadian history

A library with a beautiful interior and exterior! An interesting part of Canadian history

Closed during 10 years starting from 2019!!: complete restoration, with checking and numbering of each stone brick!! The young hosts at the reception will probably visit it with their kids

We didn't get to tour inside. The EN tours were full for the day. Was so disappointed. Walked around & appreciated this stunning building from the outside.

Beautiful! I was on a tour so our time was quite limited but it's really stunning and breathtaking.

One of the prettiest library in the world. The tour is great too!

Amazing library. One of the best sites in Ottawa to visit. Don't miss!

Grand room within the Parliament Building, the only remnant of the 1916 fire that destroyed most of the building. Visit is part of the free tours of Parliament.

Closed for about 10 years for renovations but I remember it being amazing. Tgen again, I am a librarian...

People aren't exaggerating when they say the Library of Parliament is the most beautiful room in Canada. It is beyond breathtaking, every Canadian should have the opportunity to see it.
