The Best of Halifax

The City’s Cherished Landmarks in a Day Witness the scenic and historic corners of Halifax during this comprehensive excursion. Drive with your knowledgeable guide to Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia’s famously picturesque fishing village and home to a well-known lighthouse that bears the same name, which has been protecting vessels from the treacherous South Shore since 1915. Spend time admiring this charming community and its striking surroundings, then return to Halifax, pausing along the way at the Fairview Lawn Cemetery to honor 121 victims of the infamous Titanic disaster of 1912. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, then take a stroll through the Public Gardens, a lush Victorian-era oasis, before heading up to the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. Take in the spectacular views from the summit, then reboard your motor coach for a scenic drive back to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
