Exploring the Bank of Canada Museum: A Journey Through Currency and Economy

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, first locate Highway 401 or Highway 416 depending on your starting point. Take the appropriate exit towards Ottawa and follow signs for downtown. Once you reach the downtown area, follow the signs to the ByWard Market area. You can park at any of the nearby parking facilities, such as the ByWard Market parking garage, which charges approximately $2 per hour. From the parking garage, it is a short walk to the museum at 30 Bank St, Ottawa, ON K1A 0G9.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  For those using public transportation, you can take OC Transpo bus routes that service downtown Ottawa. Depending on your location, look for routes that connect to the Ottawa downtown core (e.g., Route 6, 7, or 11). Disembark at a stop near ByWard Market. From there, it is a brief walk to the museum located at 30 Bank St, Ottawa, ON K1A 0G9. Ensure you check the OC Transpo website for fares, which typically range from $3.75 for a single ride.

• Public Transportation (Light Rail)

  You can also opt for the O-Train light rail service, which connects various parts of Ottawa. If you are coming from the western suburbs, take the O-Train to the Bayview Station, then transfer to a bus heading towards downtown (e.g., buses 101, 94). After a short ride, you will arrive near ByWard Market. The museum at 30 Bank St, Ottawa, ON K1A 0G9 is within walking distance from the bus stop. The light rail fare is the same as the bus, approximately $3.75 for a single ride.
