Explore the ramparts, cannons, and barracks, and witness the daily firing of the noon gun by a costumed re-enactor. Delve into the lives of the soldiers who once defended the city, and marvel at the breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of Halifax, its harbor, and beyond. This imposing fortress provides a fascinating glimpse into Halifax's past and offers stunning photo opportunities.
Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk
Stroll along the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk, one of the world's longest urban boardwalks, stretching nearly 4 kilometers along the bustling harbor. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere as you browse quaint shops, cafes, local artisan stalls, museums, and food vendors.
