To make the most of your day in Halifax, you might want to book the Gray Line Hop-On
Hop-Off Tour. Although Halifax is a very walkable city, this all-day pass allows you to hop on and off a double decker bus that loops all the city’s major sites.
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. And all of it just steps away from gorgeous beaches and spectacular natural areas.
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.
Book a stay at the luxurious Sutton Place Hotel in Halifax and enjoy views of the bay from your room.
Leave behind the rugged landscape of Cape Breton Island and head to the province’s capital along the route known as the Marine Drive. You’ll pass through many scenic towns and villages that speak to Nova Scotia’s seafaring heritage. We recommend a stop for lunch at Sherbrooke Village, a restored 1860s community.
In Mabou, you'll find the Glenora Distillery, which is the only distillery outside of Scotland allowed to use “Glen” in the name – an homage to Cape Breton’s Celtic and Scottish heritage. Why not stop in for a pint?
If time permits, visit Mabou and stop in for a drink at the Red Shoe Pub owned by the musical Rankin Family.
