Ask anyone from Nova Scotia what the province's favorite beer is, and they're bound to say Alexander Keith's. You can't make a trip to Halifax without visiting the famous brewery, founded in 1820. Nowadays, Alexander Keith's still makes up for every 1 in 3 beers sold within the province. The brewery is one of the oldest breweries in Canada, built-in 1820 and made of ironstone and granite. It's located on the waterfront of Halifax, and a tour of the facilities will provide entertaining guides while you view animators in period costume who will guide you through Halifax life in 1863, complete with songs and even a few pub games from that time. You'll have plenty of opportunity for beer tasting as well, with at least five regular beers on tap and seasonal brews available when possible.

The Halifax Citadel is anything but a simple museum. Every day, the Citadel comes to life with the sounds and color of its re-enactment interpreters, the 78th Highlanders, and the Royal Artillery. Dressed in the same uniforms that their respective regiments wore in the mid-1800s, the 78th Highlanders guard the Citadel's entrance and conduct marching and band drills on the parade grounds, while the Royal Artillery fires the Noon Gun every day at 12 pm - a Halifax tradition that is one of the oldest in the world.

Located in the heart of Halifax's waterfront, there's no better place to immerse yourself in Nova Scotia's rich maritime heritage than the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. From small craft boatbuilding to World War Convoys, the Days of Sail to the Age of Steam, the Titanic to the Halifax Explosion, you'll discover the stories, events and people that have come to define Nova Scotia and its relationship with the sea.

A cruise aboard The Tall Ship Silva is the perfect way to fully experience the Halifax Harbour. Passengers will be invited to help the crew hoist the Silva's sails, enjoy a beverage or two from the onboard Pub, or simply sit back, relax and enjoy a beautiful day out on the water.

The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 is in the national historic site at the Halifax seaport where nearly one million immigrants landed in Canada from 1928 to 1971. Today, as Canada's sixth national museum, we share the ongoing story of immigration to Canada - past to present and coast to coast. Our exhibits immerse visitors in the immigration experience and allow for a deeper understanding of how newcomers shape our country.
