Best Things to Do in Halifax
Halifax is steeped in history, much of which centers around the sea. For an in-depth look at the city's watery past, reserve a few hours for the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Another must-see historic site is the towering Citadel, a fortress used as a naval station during the reign of the British Empire. If your history quota still isn't filled, take a tour of Alexander Keith's Brewery, one of the oldest breweries in North America. Halifax is also bursting with outdoor activities: take a stroll through the Public Gardens, enjoy a leisurely ferry ride to nearby Dartmouth or enjoy the harbor views from the vibrant Historic Properties Wharf.
