Nova Scotia’s seaside capital overflows with beer, history and friendly locals.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, is said to have some of the friendliest people on earth. And although it has a long and fascinating history as a pirate hot spot and immigrant hub, it maintains a small-town warmth that makes you feel like you’re home — even if you’re just visiting. The capital of Nova Scotia is also blessed with a charming 19th-century fisherman’s village, sandy beaches and an active lighthouse perched on a picturesque sea cove.
