A Closer Look at the Neighborhoods and Tempting Treats of Halifax
Nova Scotia’s capital is Halifax a city laid around the second largest harbor in the world. Cruise ships, naval bases, rail lines, oil refineries, and tourist attractions all share the waterfront which looks out onto Saint George's Island. Once a military base, the province now opens the island to daytrippers a few times a year and plans are under way to turn it into park space.
The city was settled by the British after some disagreements with the French and "The Citadel" a huge fort, still sits intact on a bluff overlooking the harbor. You can see the changing of the guard here and walk through the garrisons.
Check out the video above for a look at some of other attractions of Halifax, including a very special cemetery and lots of Victorian style homes.
