Halifax (Canada) - Wink Travel Guide

Halifax is the capital city of Nova Scotia and the largest city in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. The city's origins and rich maritime history derive from a strategic location and one of the world's great natural harbours.

The city of Halifax is on Halifax Peninsula, on the west side of the harbour, with Dartmouth to the east. Halifax is the provincial and regional hub of Nova Scotia.

It is, however, a small city by North American standards. Rather than feeling relegated to 'second-fiddle' status, this dichotomy is celebrated by residents who take pride in their slower pace and warm hospitality.
