For more than 250 years visitors to this city have been falling in love with Halifax. The province’s capital, Halifax combines the international essence of a major port city and naval base, with the youthful vibe of a university town, and the culture and heritage of one of Canada’s most historic communities.
Halifax is rich with museums, galleries, and heritage centres. A few to mention are:
From the famous chip wagon in front the library on Spring Garden Road to cosmopolitan dining experiences at hot spots like Fid, Bish, Gio, and Saege, there are hundreds of excellent places to dine out in the city.
Halifax is one of Canada’s premiere destinations for happening events and festivals. All across the calendar there are annual celebrations of music, literature, art and sport, like:
Nightlife in the city can’t be beat. Neptune Theatre is going strong after more than forty years of live performances. The pub and club atmosphere is bustling. Casino Nova Scotia brings the thrill of gaming and great live entertainment to the waterfront year-round.
There's no better shopping east of Montreal than you'll find in Halifax. Browse unique eclectic boutiques found on Spring Garden Road and the Hydrostone Market, the outlets in Bayer’s Lake or the Maritime flavour in the restored heritage buildings of Historic Properties that house food and retail stores.
As a base for exploring the rest of the province or a vacation destination in and of itself, Halifax is a seaside city like no other.
