3 Meilleurs Repères à Halifax, NS

Citadel is the place where the city was first formed. After centuries, it is now a museum and famous tourist place in the city. Being a resident of the city, I got the opportunity to visit it multiple times. The place comes to life during summer when flocks of tourists visit the charming place. This is the time when the museum is open, guards are present, and one needs to purchase entry ticket of 8.5 CAD (not needed if you have a Discovery pass). Winter is more timid. Not many activities except the noon canon during this time. That also means it is open for all without a ticket but you don't get the flavour since nothing inside is open. Over and all, a must visit place for everyone visiting downtown. Careful if you visit during mid day and with a kid. The noon canon is really loud.

The Warden of the North. This is a terrific reminder of Halifax and Nova Scotia's long military history.The addition of the new 80th anniversary of D-day display is something that shouldn't be missed. Even if you're not interested in military history, it, in itself, is a beautiful piece of engineering and worth the stroll around.

There is so much history to learn at the Citadel. We had a great morning here. There are many demonstrations, offered in different languages, lots of rooms and displays to explore and no matter how much you can get yourself ready for the cannon fire, it's still quite something! There are bathrooms, a gift shop and some areas are accessible with ramps.

Vintage harbour fortification, exceptionally well maintained and restored. A lovely structure, and one of the most popular locations in the park. It also has the BEST example in Halifax proper, of "glacial pavement": the slate bedrock was scraped flat, and even polished by the glacier which covered Nova Scotia 14,000 years ago and shaped the geology of the province. Finally, there is 150 years' worth of graffiti inscribed there, into the natural pavement!! (hmmmm... or is that by Fort Ogilvie.... always get things like that mixed up, lol.). At any rate, the forts are a MAJOR component of Point Pleasant Park, and well worth exploring!!

Really massive historic site, made out of stones. It began construction in about 1797, and was primarily used as a defence barrack and protect from any landward attacks. Now, there are only the remains without any access to the inside.

It’s awesome place to visit during winters, especially when it’s snow. The entire point pleasant park is covered in snow and it has breathtaking view. You can find lot of people for walk here with their pets. This place is also national historic site.

It was open and we had tour inside. The guide is amazing and detailed. There are 2 guards outside and at first I thought they are statue but then I saw them breathing as I got closer to them. Very nice place and good one for a person who loves history and heritage. Especially is showcases nova scotia history and relation of that to queen Elizabeth.

Place with so much history. I accompanied my friend for her citizenship oath taking and I was so appreciative of the warm welcome of the staff and immigration officer and employees. This is a must see during the Doors Open Halifax event.

Staff was nice, helpful and knowledgeable. Great free tour. Nice chance to see a quick bagpipes presentation/ceremony when they change guard. Recommend for adults only.
