Why?  All things nautical make for a memorable holiday in
Halifax, Canada's busy Atlantic port city. In recent years Halifax
has made the most of its waterfront, turning it into a tourist
playground of pubs, shops, museums, craft markets and outdoor
concerts. There is plenty of history to be discovered, too, if you
travel to Halifax, including Pier 21, where immigrants were once
processed for entry to Canada, and the graves of about 150 victims
of the Titanic disaster.
When?  Choosing when to holiday in Halifax is a matter of
deciding what type of holiday you are after. Weatherwise the best
time is during summer, and this is best too for those aiming to
enjoy the city's main festivals and events; also many attractions
are only open in the summer season (June to October). Seafood
lovers should aim to travel to Halifax in May and June when lobster
pots are full, and those after whale-watching need to visit between
June and September. Many recommend autumn as the best season to
travel to Halifax when the colourful foliage is spectacular. The
cold of winter draws skiers to the city from December to April.
Who for?  Everyone will enjoy a holiday in Halifax,
particularly those who are intersted in maritime history.
