Frommer's Review
Designed by a 25-year-old Francis Rattenbury and built between 1893 and 1898 at a cost of nearly C$1 million (US$850,000), the Parliament Buildings (also called the Legislature) are an architectural gem. The 40-minute tour comes across at times like an eighth-grade civics lesson, but it's worth it to see the fine mosaics, marble, woodwork, and stained glass.
