Spend the day exploring the coastal city of Halifax, the largest urban area in the Maritimes. The city has cultural spots (art galleries, museums, music venues and theatre) in abundance, as well as superb dining and shopping throughout the city.

The waterfront is undoubtedly the star attraction in the city and you’ll want to spend some time exploring this area. Take a harbour boat cruise or hop on the ferry to see the city from the water.
