ByWard Market: Canada's oldest and largest public market with nearly two hundred years of history

I am OceanViewTour＋Global Traveler, please follow me! (Published in 1015 cities across 57 countries/regions on 5 continents, this is the 1789th original travel photo post) ByWard Market, located east of Parliament Hill and the commercial district in Ottawa, spans four entire blocks. It is Canada's oldest and largest public market. This comprehensive market, with nearly two hundred years of history, was designed and built by Lieutenant Colonel John By, the designer of the Rideau Canal. Today, most of the buildings here still retain their old appearance. Both locals and tourists enjoy strolling, eating, and drinking here. Therefore, ByWard Market is also known by netizens as one of the 'world's best markets for leisurely travel.' There are hundreds of restaurants, bars, and cafes here, each offering a unique culinary experience. Whether day or night, the place is bustling with activity. Surprisingly, this ancient open-air market still sells vegetables, fruits, and flowers grown by nearby farmers, often at prices much lower than those in supermarkets.
