Halifax

CYHZ/YHZ

Halifax and the wider region of Nova Scotia are shaped by the Atlantic Ocean, giving the area a strong maritime character and a slower coastal pace of life. Halifax itself is a friendly harbour city known for its waterfront, historic sites and fresh seafood, while beyond the city the coastline opens into fishing villages, rugged cliffs and scenic drives such as the famous Cabot Trail. The province is especially popular for whale watching, ocean views and exploring small coastal communities rich in local culture and history.
