Halifax Public Gardens

　　Established in 1867 to mark Confederation, but formally opened to the public in 1875, Halifax's delightful 6.5-hectare public gardens are a fine example of Victorian horticultural planning. Stocked with lakes, statues, fountains, bridges, ponds and a huge variety of trees and formal flower beds, the gardens also have a bandstand...

Fairview Lawn Cemetery

　　When the RMS Titanic sank, the bodies of those not lost at sea were brought to Halifax. Among other sites, there are 19 graves at Mt Olivet Catholic Cemetery and 121 here at the Fairview Lawn Cemetery. Frequently visited graves include the touching Celtic Cross and Unknown Child monuments, and...

Crystal Crescent Beach Provincial Park

　　Eighteen kilometers south of Halifax, near the village of Sambro, this gorgeous provincial park boasts three distinct beaches in separate coves; the third one out, toward the southwest, is clothing optional and gay friendly. An 8.5km hiking trail begins just inland and heads through barrens, bogs and boulders to Pennant...

Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21

More than a million people passed through these redbrick halls, and it's an emotional experience to walk through...

Halifax Central Library

　　Built on a former parking lot, this stunning modern library, composed of glass boxes stacked artfully on top of each other, was opened in 2014 and has become a much-loved meeting spot for Haligonians. Inside, concrete staircases ascend Escher-like through the central atrium, leading toward a rooftop where there's an...

Citadel Hill National Historic Site

　　Perched atop the grassy hillock looming over town, this star-shaped fort played a key role in Halifax's founding.
