Presided over by the spooky hilltop Halifax Citadel, Halifax Nova Scotia harbour town has long been a key trading port, but today is more popular for its fresh sea air and lively buzz. It is a mix of historical heritage and modern seaside chic, with quaint old buildings, arty boutiques and gourmet eateries. Encompassing four universities, it is also a vibrant student town with nightlife to match – there’s plenty of after-hours entertainment in the city’s profusion of bars, night clubs, live music venues and revamped waterfront area.
