Cheap Halifax Hotels
Halifax, Nova Scotia, is the largest city in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada and is also the capital city. Halifax has been a major tourist destination for people visiting Canada for a number of years and with good reason -- there is plenty to do and see in the city.
In the late 1990s, the city took on a new tourist attraction of sorts, when the movie “Titanic” renewed interest in the 1912 sinking of the ocean liner. Halifax was the point at which much of the news of the sinking was relayed and many of the unidentified victims were laid to rest when they were recovered. The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic offers visitors information and artifacts of this sinking, as well as many others in the area.
Pier 21 is where many immigrants came into Canada (much like Ellis Island in New York City), and is now a museum paying homage to the more than one million immigrants who were processed there.
The city of Halifax also has a number of art galleries, such as the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, which features works of local artists.
