How can the nation's capital downgrade its major tourism information to a "kiosk"? This is such a race to the bottom and another indicator how Canada is losing its place in the world.

We stopped by the Kiosk a couple of times for suggestions and brochures. The attendants were very helpful and the information available was worth the stop.

The old Capital Infocentre has moved to the World Exchange Plaza at 111 Albert Street, Ottawa (ON) and is now called the Capital Information Kiosk. The staff is still friendly and posess a wealth of knowledge, plus they have lots of great insider tips to share!

Hands down the best tourist information booth I have been to anywhere. Well stocked with brochures, maps and knowledgable staff that enjoy helping you. And free washrooms to boot - cannot be beat on Canada Day or any big event downtown.
