Explore Halifax, one of the three Canadian maritime provinces located on the North Atlantic Coast of North America. Located in eastern Canada and almost completely surrounded by ocean, Nova Scotia, is famous for its high tides, lobster, home to puffins and seals, and popular for water sports like kayaking.
Halifax's urban core is home to a number of regional landmark buildings and retains significant historic buildings and districts. Downtown office towers are overlooked by the fortress of Citadel Hill with its iconic Halifax Town Clock while Halifax's South End is renowned for its grand Victorian houses.
You can easily spend the entire day exploring the Halifax Waterfront: it hugs the harbour for 10 city blocks from Pier 21 at the Halifax Seaport to Casino Nova Scotia. The boardwalk follows the water’s edge past historic sites, shops, restaurants, and attractions.
Home to many of the region's major cultural attractions, such as Halifax Pop Explosion, Symphony Nova Scotia, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, The Khyber, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and the Neptune Theatre, the region is noted for the strength of its music scene and nightlife, and hosts a wide variety of festivals throughout the year.
Don't miss a tour to Peggy’s Cove, a picture postcard village, on the rugged Atlantic shoreline, stands on solid rock above the crashing surf, to see the most photographed lighthouse in the world!
