Halifax Citadel National Historic Site
The Halifax Citadel National Historic Site is a star-shaped fortress overlooking downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. Built in 1856, it played a key role in defending the city and the British Empire’s interests in North America. Today, it offers immersive experiences with costumed interpreters, historic reenactments, and stunning city views. Visitors can explore the fort’s walls, tunnels, and exhibits while learning about Halifax’s military history. The daily firing of the noon gun remains a beloved tradition. A must-visit for history buffs, the Citadel brings the past to life in an engaging and interactive way.
Halifax Public Gardens
The Halifax Public Gardens, established in 1867, are Victorian-era gardens located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, near Spring Garden Road and opposite Victoria Park. Covering 16 acres, they feature formal Victorian landscaping, statues, extensive flower beds, fountains, stone bridges, ponds, and a bandstand for summer concerts. Designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984, the gardens are open year-round, weather permitting.

I had a fantastic experience on the walking historical tour with Anchor Tours, led by local guide, Jeff. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day, perfect weather for exploring on foot. If you're planning to take this tour during the summer, I highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, bringing water, applying sunscreen, and packing a few light snacks. The tour is well paced, making it manageable for most fitness levels. However, note that there are a few hilly sections, so those with mobility concerns may want to plan accordingly. Jeff was an outstanding guide, enthusiastic, well-informed, and full of captivating stories you won’t find in your average history book! He truly brought the city’s past and present to life and kept the group engaged from start to finish.
