|  Halifax
has been a significant port
city since it was founded in
1749, blends the past and the
present with elegant 18th and
19th century architecture alongside
ultra-modern towers of glass
and steel. Explore the Historic
Citadel, enjoy the public gardens
and take in historic ships and
impressive films of the Titanic
and Halifax Explosion at the
Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
before heading to the Historic
Properties, where 19th century
privateers' warehouses have
been transformed into specialty
boutiques and restaurants.
 Halifax
is perfect for exploring on
foot, with tree-lined streets,
international restaurants, galleries,
libraries and museums. Inviting
sidewalk cafés beckon you amid
park-like waterfront, and historic
settings in the busy downtown.
Day and night, the downtown
area is alive with the rhythms
of local music. Enjoy a boat
tour of the harbor, savor fresh
seafood and a wealth of entertainment
or indulge in the excitement
of a waterfront casino.
