Take an exhilarating three-day journey through Halifax, a charming Canadian port city that sparkles with maritime lore, heritage architecture, delicious seafood, and soul-stirring landscapes. This jam-packed, whirlwind itinerary will make you fall in love with 'Canada's Ocean Playground'.

Day 1 - Immersion Into The History

Fly into Halifax Stanfield International Airport and kick start your Halifax hustle. Make your way downtown to check into your hotel before embarking on a journey into Halifax's nautical past. Gear up for a visit to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. From tales of titanic disasters to relics of shipwrecks, immerse yourself in the seaside lore. After a lunch feast of sumptuous seafood, pay a visit to the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Here, one in five Canadians can trace back their roots! As the evening approaches, promenade on the Waterfront Boardwalk, perhaps Canada's most scenic urban walk, before treating yourself to a hearty dinner. How about some lobster, eh?

Day 2 - Nature and Nosh

Wake up to a fresh Atlantic breeze and spend your second day amid Halifax's natural expanses. Start by taking a breezy drive to Peggy's Cove where the majesty of the iconic lighthouse against the crashing waves will surely take your breath away. After a hefty breakfast in a quaint café, head to McNabs Island for a lovely hike through forest trails and explore the old fort ruins. Works up an appetite, right? That's great because up next is a late seafood lunch at one of the local inns. We recommend a seafood chowder! For the evening, set out to explore the vibrant Pier 21 district, where you can taste local craft beer, dine on more fresh seafood, and enjoy live music. Ready for some fun, aren't you?

Day 3 - Heritage Highlights

Savor a hearty brunch because today, we embark on a Halifax heritage tour! Begin by exploring The Citadel National Historic Site which offers a window into the city's military past. Have you ever heard the noon gun? Well, you're about to! After a picnic lunch, proceed to the Public Gardens, a Victorian-era garden for a leisurely stroll among the beautiful blooms. Upon sunset, walk through the historic properties on the waterfront, a block of warehouses dating back to the 1700s and now a hub of eateries and shops. For your final dinner, consider a Nova Scotian classic – Digby scallops. So, shall we toast to a journey well-traveled?
