Halifax Attractions & Things to Do
There is a lot to see and do in Halifax. There are the Halifax attractions you write home about – museums, art galleries, architecture. Outdoor activities abound – walking tours, hiking trails, sea kayaking. Don’t forget our golf courses. And there are just as many things to do in Halifax at night as during the day – we have pubs and wine bars, dinner theatres, a casino, and of course, the maritime music we’re famous for.
A few can’t-miss attractions include:
- Pier 21 and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
- Halifax tour – by amphibious watercraft, ghost tour or with a walking guide
- Alexander Keith’s Brewery
- Dartmouth Heritage Museum
- Public Gardens
- Sail Halifax Harbour (the second largest natural harbour in the world) on a Tall Ship
- Try your luck at the slots or take in a great performance at Casino Nova Scotia
- Watch the fishermen come in with their daily catch and grab a bite to eat at Fishermen’s Cove in Eastern Passage.
Find your own Halifax, Nova Scotia – from romance on the harbour to a year-round roster of festivals.
