The largest city in Nova Scotia, Halifax is a wonderful blend of maritime hospitality and informality along with seafaring history. Must-sees include the impressive fort which dominates the city skyline, The Citadel and Pier 21, Canada’s immigration museum. You’re by the sea, so enjoy great seafood; you’re in a university town so you know the pub life will be active! Head out of town down the south shore and make a stop at post-card perfect Peggy’s Cove and the hospitable and photogenic towns of Lunenburg and Mahone Bay.
