| The
One Thing You Don't Want to Miss |
 |
| One of the city's most attractive areas is the
Historic Properties Development, located along the waterfront. The
charming early 19th-century wood and stone buildings here have all
been fully restored. And the cobblestone streets and long boardwalks
are now lined with a wonderful array of boutiques, cafés, and pubs. |
| Other
Fun Things to Do |
|
 |
Relax on a drive through the beautiful Nova Scotian
countryside to the moody, weathered village of Peggy's Cove.
Walk along the rocks to view the craggy coastline with its
bold glacier-formed outcroppings of granite and its
impressive lighthouse. Then drive through the softer South
Shore area back to Halifax, and enjoy another view of the
city. |
|
Take a historical and anecdote-filled tour through the
streets of Halifax. Explore the hilltop fortress and the
Citadel, and stroll through the beautiful Victorian-style
public gardens. |
|
Explore the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia's extensive
collection, with over 2,000 permanent works. |
|
| Get
a Taste of Local Flavor |
|
| Discover downtown Halifax in a brand-new
way by visiting many of Halifax's favorite pubs. Sample some of
their most popular brands of beer as you make your way from pub to
pub. |
| Local
Currency |
|
| In Canada, the Canadian dollar (CAD) is
the official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted and often
offer a good exchange rate. In all of Canada, a 7% Goods &
Services Tax (GST) must be paid on all transportation,
accommodation, restaurant meals, and just about anything else you
purchase, right down to a pack of gum. |
