WELCOME TO HALIFAX

Exceptional shopping, dining and living on the Halifax waterfront.

The premier waterfront destination for locals and visitors alike.

On behalf of the Hotel Association of Nova Scotia, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Metro area, and our capital city, Halifax. Nova Scotia is rich in beauty, heritage, and culture, and we are pleased to share it with you.

Our exclusive visitor magazine, Where Halifax, will help you discover all there is to experience during your visit. Continuing through July 7 is one of Halifax’s biggest and most beloved summer events: the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo (page 23). The world’s largest annual indoor show of its type, the Tattoo features military and civilian acts from around the world, drawing thousands to Scotiabank Centre on Duke Street every summer. And as you’ll see in our cover story on page 18, this month also marks the return of the Halifax International Jazz Festival (page 26). This year fans are abuzz about headliner Lauryn Hill, scheduled to perform at the Lower Water Street Main Stage on July 12.

Where is designed to help make the most of your time by assisting you with decisions such as where to shop, where to dine, and what to see and do.

Please feel free to take this magazine along with you on your journey with our compliments.

Our goal is to ensure your stay in one of Canada’s most extraordinary provinces is a memorable one. Should you have any questions, or require assistance of any kind during your visit, please ask any member of your hotel’s staff.

Where is an inter­ national network of magazines first published in 1936 expressly for visitors and distributed in more than 4,000 leading hotels in the cities of: Canada: Calgary, Canadian Rockies, Edmonton, Halifax, Muskoka/Parry Sound, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, Whistler and Winnipeg.

Europe: Berlin, Budapest, Istanbul, London, Milan, Moscow, Paris, Rome and St. Petersburg. Australia: Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. Asia: Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore.

What’s your favourite spot for a summer lunch with friends downtown?

What’s the best way to spend a rainy summer day in Halifax?

2 Doors Down (page 68) on Barrington Street is owned by local chef Craig Flinn. It has a huge local following, showcasing seasonal local flavours. My favourites are the cheeseburger, the ploughman, and the smoked potato chowder.

If it’s raining, grab an umbrella and get going.

Spend the day taking in the history and culture of the city. Visit the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic (page EC7) on Lower Water Street, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (page 23) on Hollis Street, Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 (page EC7) on Marginal Road, Halifax Central Library (page EC1) on Spring Garden Road, and the Museum of Natural History (page EC7) on Summer Street.

What’s your pick for a can’t-miss day trip destination for visitors to Halifax?

The South Shore would have to be my favourite; leaving Halifax by car and heading down Highway 333 to Peggy’s Cove (page EC1), Chester, Mahone Bay, and ending in Lunenburg.

Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the home of the famous sailing schooner the Bluenose II. Consider an overnight stay along the coast if you want to explore longer.

What’s one experience every visitor to Halifax should have?

Halifax Citadel National Historic Site (page EC3), built on this spot because of its strategic location in defending the city from attack. Every summer you can find the 78th Highlanders and the 3rd Brigade Royal Artillery in period costume manning their posts. Arrive before noon to witness the 78th Highlanders fire the noon gun, a daily tradition dating back decades.

Move on to a guided tour or explore on your own.

You can also experience for yourself the full firing power of an authentic Snider-Enfield rifle while dressed in a period military costume.

What’s your favourite spot for a romantic dinner for two?

Local Italian favourite daMaurizio Fine Dining (page 70) boasts fresh pasta made in-house, local seafood, an extensive wine list, great service and atmosphere to match, and let’s not forget dessert.

What’s your pick for this month’s must-see summer event?

Continuing until July 7, Scotiabank Centre on Duke Street hosts the annual Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo (page 23). Showcasing civilian and military acts from around the world, the Tattoo features pipes, drums, bands, dancers, acrobats, and gymnasts from Canada, Germany, Kenya, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
