Short Description
  • Your tour begins with your friendly local guide meeting you outside of Uncommon Grounds Café in the Halifax Public Gardens. From there, you will begin your walk through the gardens.  
  •  Halifax Public Gardens is one of the finest surviving examples of a Victorian garden in North America. They were founded by the Nova Scotia Horticultural Society in 1836 and were recognized as a National Historic Site in 1984. You will love the peaceful stroll through the grounds, passing by stunning floral foliage. 
  •  From there you will also get a chance to see the historic Camp Hill Cemetery, The Halifax Common - Canada’s oldest urban park -, as well as the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre. 
  •  As you continue along, you will pass the Citadel National Historic Site. The large hill of the site led the British military to found the town there in 1749. Among the first buildings constructed was a wooden guardhouse on top of what would eventually be called Citadel Hill, with Halifax’s first settlers building their homes at the base of the hill. Today, the Citadel continues to watch over the city’s downtown core as a reminder of Halifax’s past. This historical location will definitely peak your interest. 
  •  After walking past this site, you will come upon the Halifax Clock Tower before heading to City Hall and St. Paul’s Anglican Church. You will continue along to the beautiful waterfront, passing the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia on the way. You will love the Halifax Waterfront - a bustling hotspot in the city with one of the world’s longest urban boardwalks spanning the length of the waterfront for 4km (2.5 miles). As you walk along the boardwalk you’ll get the chance to see the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic (entrance included). You won’t want to miss this incredible Halifax experience!
