halifax
Our first stop is the charming city of Halifax. Known for its maritime heritage, Halifax offers a delightful blend of history and modernity. Stroll along the picturesque seaside, visit the iconic Citadel Hill, and then dig into fresh seafood at one of the many waterfront restaurants. The warmth and hospitality of Halifax will make you feel right at home.
Take a scenic drive to Peggy’s Cove, a rustic fishing village of less than 40 residents and where you will find one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world, or spend the afternoon sipping award-winning wines from the vineyards of Annapolis Valley near the Bay of Fundy on the Annapolis Valley Wine and Cheese excursion. If you envision a day that feels less restrictive, explore Halifax at your own pace with the Halifax Attraction Pass. This excursion gives you the ability to spend as little or as much time as you wish at Halifax’s most popular attractions.
Stroll along the picturesque waterfront boardwalk, lined with shops, cafes, and galleries, relish the vibrant music scene at some of the local pubs and venues, or meander through the Public Gardens, a Victorian-era garden oasis in the heart of the city.
During your day, be sure to sample some of the local Atlantic lobster and Digby scallops, or, skip the seafood altogether on this stop and instead indulge in the local favorite, Donair. This mouthwatering middle eastern street food is very similar to a gyro or shawarma and is a staple here. Lastly, make a quick stop at the Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market for a taste of local produce, artisanal cheeses, and baked goods.
