Visiting Halifax

Halifax welcomes visitors with a hundred thousand smiles and an equal number of historic sites to discover, natural areas to explore, cultural events to revel in, shops to browse, and restaurants to grab a bite in.

Renowned for its steep streets, stunning harbour, and the famous Citadel, which stands guard over the citizens - and the port - Nova Scotia's capital city is a unique mix of traditional and contemporary. Visitors are embraced by a city with one of the world's largest natural harbours and linked irrevocably to the sea. With a population of 370,000, Halifax is an ideal blend of big city and down-home hospitality.
