Halifax
If you spoke with a Halifax local they would tell you their city boasts the friendliness of a small town with the amenities of a modern urban centre.
Halifax is an ideal starting point for RV vacations in the Atlantic Maritime provinces. Rent an RV from our location in Halifax and set out on a road trip of discovery to experience all these unique provinces have to offer.
While almost half of the province’s population live in Halifax, the city’s historical roots are still evident in many of the preserved buildings and historic sites within its boundaries. Most prominent of these is the Halifax Citadel, a star-shaped fortress atop of Citadel Hill, built to defend Halifax Harbour and the Naval Dockyard from enemy attacks. Today, Parks Canada operates this site as the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site of Canada where guided and self-guided tours enable visitors to learn about the Citadel’s role in the history of the area.
The waterfront is at the heart of the city with activities galore on offer for both locals and visitors.
Here you’ll find unique shops and restaurants, museums, harbour tours and, if you’re feeling lucky, Casino Nova Scotia is in easy reach. There are plenty of delicious ways to whet your appetite in Halifax but keep in mind … a trip to Halifax wouldn’t be complete without sampling their fabled donair!
