HISTORIC HALIFAX - THIS IS NOVA SCOTIA! - As the capital of Nova Scotia, Halifax offers world-class dining and entertainment in a picturesque seaside environment that is steeped in history and culture. The city itself presents a blend of old and new – from fantastic 250-year-old architecture and landmarks such as Citadel Hill, the Public Gardens, Pier 21 and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, to great shopping on Spring Garden Road and exciting games at the Casino Nova Scotia.

Halifax is a perfect starting point for fabulous day trips to some of the most photographed spots in Nova Scotia – the rugged beauty of Peggy’s Cove, the Bluenose II in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lunenburg, the three churches of Mahone Bay and the wild surf of Lawrencetown Beach.

Halifax is also home to a great variety of festivals, art, music and theatre venues and outstanding restaurants featuring fresh Atlantic seafood and exotic international cuisine.
