Halifax


Halifax is the capital of the province of Nova Scotia, which is located at the south Atlantic shore of Canada. Its natural harbors dominate the coastline and are considered to be the largest ones world wide. This romantic city offers an exciting mixture of the past as well as the present and adds a metropolitan flair to it, 1 especially since “it has the oldest history of all Canadian cities.” 2

The vibrancy and culture of Halifax are concentrated at its waterfront. Many boutiques are at close reach, as well as pubs and restaurants. The city provides a lot of captivating historic properties, many of them built in 1749, at the time when Halifax was founded. 3 Some of the original settlement buildings are restored and made accessible for tourists in order to experience some history.
