Local Attractions

Anchored by our Maritime history and shaped by the ocean, Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a breath of fresh, salty air. Known to the Mi’kmaq as Kjipuktuk, it's vibrant, humble, and surrounded by natural wonder.

Halifax is home to a diverse collection of memorable things to see and do, including Citadel Hill, Peggy's Cove, and the beautiful harbourside boardwalk — featuring 4km of shopping, restaurants, tours, and the historic Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.

Halifax will also offer Congress delegates discounts at participating local businesses - all you need to do is show your badge! Visit Discover Halifax’s dedicated welcome page for more details.
