The capital of Nova Scotia, Halifax is a charming mix of old and new. This is readily apparent in a walk around the area known as the Historic Properties. Enjoy the splendor of one of the finest harbors in the world by taking a water tour of the city.
Halifax Attractions
One of the city's most attractive areas is the Historic Properties Development, located along the waterfront.

And the cobblestone streets and long boardwalks are now lined with a wonderful array of boutiques, cafés, and pubs.
Halifax Activities
Relax on a drive through the beautiful Nova Scotian countryside to the moody, weathered village of Peggy's Cove.

St. John, the oldest incorporated city in Canada, is a fishermans paradise. In September and October the whole countryside is ablaze with some of the most magnificent color in all of North America.
St. John Attractions
Experience the amazing Reversing Falls Rapids, Saint John's best-known attraction. Twice daily the powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy rise faster than the river can empty. When this happens, the tide attempts to push the river back upstream, then the tide ebbs and the river appears to reverse itself and flow over the rocks, creating the appearance of reversing rapids.
St. John Activities
