Tour description
Halifax is the lively maritime capital of Nova Scotia and the heart of Atlantic Canada, a historic port with one of the world's great natural harbours, a hilltop fortress and a rich seafaring heritage. Warm and walkable, it blends history with a friendly coastal spirit. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its story.
You will stroll the famous waterfront boardwalk, climb toward the star-shaped Citadel, and hear about the port's history, from the age of sail to the Titanic connection. Along the way you will discover the maritime culture of the region. Historic and welcoming, Halifax is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
