Book a Tour of Historic Halifax & Peggy’s Cove
The best way to see Halifax is by booking an historic tour. Travelers to Nova Scotia have been falling in love with Halifax especially it’s historic district with maritime connection for well over 250+ years. Steeped in rich maritime history, Halifax has many museums and attractions that showcase seafaring tales of pirates and privateers that visitors seemingly cannot get enough of.
One of the first stops on the Halifax Cruise Ship Shore tour is off to to the historic Halifax district. The Fairview Lawn Cemetery is a place where 121 victims lay from the Titanic disaster. Next it’s off to Citadel Hill located high above the city of Halifax where you can hear the cannons ring out over the vast landscape. A short visit to the Halifax Public Gardens will put your mind at ease with hundreds of trees, flowers and park benches. There are many other historic properties along the tour including the site of the Halifax Explosion and Pier 21.
After a short lunch, the tour is off to Peggy’s Cove which has been a top tourist attraction in Nova Scotia of over 100 years. Located on the rugged Atlantic coastline, Peggy’s Cove stands on a base of solid rock high above the crashing surf, that previous visitors have become well aware of. There are many signs posted that tell of the danger of getting too close to the edge of the rocks near the lighthouse, where many have perished over the years.
Where there is danger there is beauty. Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse is the most photographed lighthouse in Canada and quite possible the world. Transportation is comfortable as you can choose from a variety of vehicles to travel on from 4 Passenger Sedans to an 8 Passenger Stretch Limos.
