Halifax at a Glance
Halifax, the capital of Nova
Scotia and the largest municipality in Atlantic
Canada, lies on a peninsula alongside one of the world's largest deep water
harbours. The rolling hills of this city rise up from the harbour and the historic
central district to the upper ramparts of the Halifax
Citadel, a star-shaped fortress that offers visitors splendid views of the
city and waterfront. While in Halifax be sure to take in the Maritime
Museum of the Atlantic, which promises an impressive collection of authentic
shipwreck artifacts, and Pier
21, a national historic site that proudly showcases Canada's immigrant heritage.
Many of the downtown attractions are within walking distance of each other, making
this sophisticated urban centre the perfect spot for a walking tour. While in
Halifax, most visitors also take the short drive to nearby Peggy's
Cove to see the moving SwissAir
Flight 111 Memorial and the resident lighthouse,
which is believed to be the world's most photographed lighthouse.
