About Halifax, Canada
Known as the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), Halifax, Nova Scotia combines flair and an abundance of gifts from Mother Nature. Situated on the world’s second largest natural harbour, life in Halifax revolves around the sea.
Begin exploring the city by talking to the friendly folks at the Halifax Argyle Visitor Centre. Armed with advice and local travel information, continue to the Halifax Harbour. Many of the buildings in this area were built in the late 1800s by wealthy merchants including No.1672 which belonged to George Wright, one of the millionaires aboard the Titanic. The Carleton House is the oldest building in Halifax and Halifax City Hall, called the Grand Parade, is the seat of government for the Halifax region. Halifax Port Authority links the Seawall and the waterfront area where cruise ships dock. Pier 21 is a National Historic Site that served as the entry point into Canada for wartime refugees, troops, and war brides. The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic features full-scale replicas of sailing vessels, Titanic memorabilia and an exhibit on the Halifax Great Explosion. Painted figureheads from historic sailing vessels stir the imagination of exotic ports. The Maritime Command Museum showcases Canadian maritime history. Continue on and trace the tracks from the world’s smallest dinosaur to the world’s largest bug at the Halifax Museum of Natural History.
The Citadel perches at the top of the central hill of Halifax and is a must-see. The odd-shaped fort was originally built to defend Halifax from the Americans. Today, the guards are clad in colorful kilts and ostrich plumed hats. Daily changing of the guard ceremonies are impressive, entertaining and great photograph opportunities. Ferry across the harbour to Dartmouth. The Bedford Institute of Oceanography is one of the most respected ocean research institutes in the world. Explore the Atlantic Interior, the Atlantic Coast, Offshore Islands and the Carboniferous Lowlands. Each of the four areas holds intriguing stories of the past and present. Finally, spend a morning or afternoon beachcombing for treasures along the sandy beaches of Halifax while waves crash against the rocky shoreline and feel stress and cares of life slip away with the tides.
