Where We Are & How to Get Here

Find Your Way to the Canadian Museum of History

The Canadian Museum of History is easily accessible from both Gatineau and downtown Ottawa. Whether you are travelling by car, public transit, bike, or on foot, this guide helps you choose the best way to reach the museum and start your visit smoothly.

Getting There Made Simple

Address

100 Rue Laurier, Gatineau, QC K1A 0M8, Canada

Plan Your Route

Driving is one of the easiest options if you want a direct trip and more flexibility with your schedule. It can be especially convenient for families, visitors travelling from outside the downtown core, or anyone planning to combine the museum with other stops in the area.

Public transit is a practical choice from downtown Ottawa and nearby neighbourhoods. The museum is well placed for visitors coming from the city centre, making transit a good option if you want to avoid driving and parking.

This is a simple door-to-door option if convenience matters most. It works well for visitors arriving from hotels in central Ottawa, from the train station, or from other attractions in the capital area.

In warmer months, cycling can be a great way to reach the museum, especially if you are already exploring the Ottawa-Gatineau waterfront or nearby paths. It is a good fit for visitors who want a more active and scenic route.

If you are staying or sightseeing in central Ottawa, walking to the museum can be a pleasant option. It works best if you want to enjoy the riverfront area and include the museum as part of a broader day of exploring.
