About Halifax, NS

Halifax is Nova Scotia's capital and biggest city, sitting right on one of the world's great natural harbours. Get there via Highway 102 from the north (through Truro) or Highway 103 along the South Shore from Chester, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg. Local hops to Lantz or Windsor are quick, under an hour, while trips from Wolfville or Truro are more of a day-trip haul.

Worth knowing: the downtown grid dates back to 1749, so parking's tight, better to leave the car and walk the peninsula.
