Cruise ships dock in thescenic and historic downtown area only a short walk to museums,the Citadel, public gardens, restaurants, breweries, shopping, etc.You'll need transportation to Peggy's Cove, Fairview Lawn(Titanic) cemetery, Fisherman's Cove, etc. My preferred means oftravel outside the city is a rental car.

Halifax is the “perfect” port for self-guided touring. Step off the shipinto the center of the historic area. It's easy to walk along theboardwalk and there are many things to see and do. There are tourbuses, cabs, rental car agencies = all the touring options you need.

Garrison Brewing Company (across the street from Pier 20)Halifax has always been at the centre of a proud and vibrant Maritimebrewing tradition. In 1754, William Steel was the first local brewer toquench the thirsts of early settlers and troops gathered on Citadel Hill.Many would follow, with over 20 breweries having operated by the timeof prohibition.Garrison Brewing Company is following in this tradition by producingpremium ales of distinction for the local market. With our inaugural batchof “Irish Red Ale” in 1997, Garrison introduced the craft beer movementto Nova Scotians and visitors alike. Today Garrison brews a variety of full flavored, all natural, preservativefree ales. Each glass represents a tribute to the art of hand-crafting ales with the finest natural ingredients. Seethis website for more details http://www.garrisonbrewing.com/brewery.html

Pier 21 is one of the historically most interestingplaces in Halifax. The pier was where most ofthe immigrants to Canada landed from 1928 to1971. It was thus a place of joy and tears closetogether - joy for those who were admitted to thecountry, tears to those who weren't.

A museum gives an overview on those years, focusing mainly on some objects that are connected toimmigration to Canada. More interesting than the actual exhibition is the 3D multimedia show in there that tellsthe story of a fictitious officer of Pier 21 who worked there from 1928 to 1971 and saw thousands of immigrantsentering the country. In addition to nearly 1.000.000 people entering Canada, 500.000 soldiers left it viaHalifax during World War II.

When you're done with the museum, don't miss visiting the souvenir shops downstairs. They are well-sortedand offer a multitude of interesting souvenirs. For more information, see this website

This is one of the oldest brewery in North America dating back to 1820. Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale isNova Scotia's most popular beer and the number one specialty beer in markets across Canada. These beerswere developed before standards for beers, so they don't meet the composition of modern beers, and the namesof the beers have been changed. We can expect more new variations of the old recipes because these beers arevery popular.

There is a tour available $ 16/adult, $ 15/senior every half hour. The tour lasts one hour and ends with a freesample of two pints of beer. It's a theatrical tour involving actors in period costume recreating what life waslike in 1863. Some people love the tour, some don't – check the internet reviews. I have not visited this site.

CAUTION – STEEP GRADES:

There is almost no change in grade walking North-South along the roads such as Lower Water Street tothe sites above. However, there is a reasonably steep grade on the streets going East-West. The photobelow shows the grade to walk from Lower Water Street to the Halifax Citadel or Public Gardens whichare up the hill. If you are comfortable walking 1000 feet on steep grades, it will not be a problem. But ifyou have mobility issues, it will be difficult to walk up to, and down from, the Citadel and Public Gardensfrom Lower Water Street. My wife walks with a cane and could not walk this grade considering thedistance.

You may be able to take public transportation or a cab from the port to the Citadel and Public Gardens. There isa hop-on bus, but I have not used it.

Halifax Citadel National Historic Site 7/10th mile from the shipRainnie Drive, Halifax 902-426-5080 Hours 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Adult $ 7.80 Senior $ 6.55 parking $ 3.15

From the time of its founding in 1749 through the19th century, Halifax was one of four principaloverseas naval stations in the British Empire. Todefend Halifax, British military authorities built aseries of fortifications in and around this strategicport - a system now known as the Halifax DefenseComplex .

The present Citadel, completed in 1856, is the fourthin a series of forts since 1749 to occupy the hilloverlooking the harbor. It is an excellent example of

a 19th-century bastion fortification complete with defensive ditch, ramparts, musketry gallery, powdermagazine and signal masts. Although never attacked, the fort was garrisoned by the British Army until 1906 andby Canadian Forces during the First and Second World Wars.

The fourth Citadel was established to guard against a land-based attack from the United States. This massive,star-shaped, masonry fortification took 28 years to build. Constructed originally as a smooth-bore fortification,the Citadel quickly became obsolete with the introduction of powerful rifled guns in the 1860s. In response tothe rapidly changing times, the Citadel upgraded its armaments and for the first time could defend the harbor aswell as the land approach because the new artillery fired heavier shells a greater distance and with moreaccuracy.

The major role for the Citadel after the turn of the century was to provide barrack accommodations and act as acommand centre for other harbor defenses. When the Second World War broke out in 1939, the Citadel wasused as a temporary barracks for troops going overseas and as the centre for anti-aircraft operations for Halifax.

Halifax Town Clock In the Citadel Historic Site facing Brunswick StreetThe Town Clock, also sometimes called the Old Town Clock or Citadel ClockTower, is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the historic urban core ofHalifax. The idea of a clock for the British Army and Royal Navy garrison atHalifax is credited to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, who arranged for a turretclock to be manufactured before his return to England in 1800. It is said thatPrince Edward, then commander-in-chief of all military forces in British NorthAmerica, wished to resolve the tardiness of the local garrison.

The clock tower is a three-tiered (three story), irregular octagon tower built atop aone story white clapboard building of classic Palladian proportions. The clockface is 4-sided displaying Roman numerals. As with most clocks the "4" is shownas IIII for aesthetic symmetry and not as IV.

The clock mechanism was constructed by the "House of Vulliamy", respectedRoyal Clock makers based in London. It is driven by three weights, gears, and a13-foot pendulum with the mechanism being housed in a cast iron frame located

in the "clock room", immediately below the belfry. Its bell strikes hourly and quarterly and the durability of themechanism (which dates to the original installation) is attributed to its slow movement. The Town Clock begankeeping time for the garrison on October 20, 1803.

The tower housing the Town Clock has been used in the past as a guard room and as a residence for the clockcaretaker. Restoration work on the Town Clock has taken place at various times during the 20th century, withthe property passing into the care of Parks Canada, which has responsibility for the Citadel Hill NationalHistoric Site. The caretaker position ceased in 1965 with its maintenance now being performed by Citadel Hillemployees who wind the clock mechanism twice weekly.



As a Halifax icon, the Town Clock has featured in many artwork, fictional and non-fictional accounts ofHalifax. One among many is a depiction of the town clock as a character named Chimey in the children'stelevision show Theodore Tugboat.

Public Gardens 8/10th mile from the ship

Bounded by Spring Garden Road, South Park Street, SummerStreet and Sackville Street near the popular shopping district ofSpring Garden Road

The Halifax Public Gardens are one of the finest originalVictorian era public gardens in North America. Established in1867, the gardens feature 17 acres of rare flowers and trees,sparkling fountains, and historic statues. They are openannually from approximately May 1 until November 1. Thelandscaping style is Victorian formal and provides a popularsetting for wedding and prom photos. The gardens also featurea bandstand that is used for free public concerts on Sundayafternoons during the summer. Many people enjoy feeding theducks who make the gardens their home, although it isprohibited.

Walking Map for Downtown HalifaxDownload the map for downtown Halifax from this link www.TomsPortGuides.com/HalifaxWalkingMap.pdf

This is the “official” walking map forHalifax. It can be handy while inport. I highly recommend you printout this map BEFORE you go onvacation.

A common problem with maps is thetext is so tiny you need a jeweler'sloupe to read the map. The solutionis to print it to a larger size. It's easyif your printer supports tiling andscaling functions.

This is a screen shot (left) using myCanon MX870 printer. Set PageScaling to “Tile all pages”, Tile Scaleto “175%”, Overlap to 0.005 inch,and check “Cut Marks”. When youclick OK, the printer produces 4pages which can be cut and tapedtogether to create a 17 inch by 22”map which lists all the major touristsites in downtown Halifax. This mapis highly readable and razor sharp.

Excursions from the cruise port

Peggy's Cove is an hour ride (46 km, 29 miles)

Fisherman's Cove is a 30 minute ride (16 km, 10 miles)

There are bus excursions from the ship to Titanic Cemetery and Peggy's Cove. Some cruisers take a cab to Titanic Cemetery because it's a short ride. My preference is to rent a car and drive to all of these sites. I describe the details re renting a car and step-by-step driving directions after the description for these sites.

Fairview Lawn “Titanic” Cemetery - a 15 minute ride (6.5 km, 4 miles) from the shipIt's located at Windsor St & Connaught Ave, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The entrance is on Windsor St. about 600 feet West of Connaught Ave. “Titanic” is NOT part of the official cemetery name.

One hundred and twenty-one victims of the RMS Titanic sinking are interred at Fairview, more than any other cemetery in the world. Granite markers list the name and date of death. About a third of the bodies were not identified so the markers only have a number and date of death.

The grave stones are laid out in three curved lines following contours of the bowof a ship.



For detailed information on Titanic Cemetery, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairview_Cemetery,_Halifax,_Nova_Scotia

Peggy’s Cove, - a MUST SEE, BEAUTIFUL SITE!Peggy's Cove is about an hour ride from theship (46 km, 29 miles). To find it on a Googlemap, enter Peggy's Cove, NS, Canada. Thestreet intersection for your GPS is Prospect Rd& Peggys Point Rd, Nova Scotia, Canada.

There are ship excursion tours and public bustours to this site.

As you approach Peggy's Cove, you'll see aTourist Information Center. It's important tostop to get a free map of the local sites, visit thecenter, and use the clean toilets. The mainparking lot for Peggy's Cove lighthouse is onlya short distance away. And there are somepostcard photo opportunities from the East endof the parking lot.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairview_Cemetery,_Halifax,_Nova_Scotia


This area has gorgeous rock formations.


This photo was taken at Lobster Lane & Peggys Point Rd about 500 feet from the lighthouse.

Peggy's Cove is a small area to visit. You probably don't need more than 30 to 60 minutes to see it. There is ashop with souvenirs and snacks next to the lighthouse. For details on Peggy's Cove, see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggys_Cove,_Nova_Scotia

Swissair Flight 111 memorial – it's about 6/10th mile from Peggy's Cove.

I'm not sure whether the tour busesstop here. We did because we hadrented a car.

On your way back to Halifax, youshould stop to see the SwissairFlight 111 memorial, about half amile from Peggy's Cove. A cockpitfire caused the plane crash inSeptember 1998 causing the loss of229 passengers and crew.

The plane made head-on contactwith water at an estimated 300G,causing it to crush and then shatterkilling the passengers nearlyinstantaneously.

For details on the memorial site and investigation of the tragic accident, see

Fisherman's Cove - A Hidden Treasure It's a 30 minute, 10 mile ride from the shipto the Eastern Passage area on the otherside of the harbor. The address forGoogle maps is 30 Government WharfRoad, Nova Scotia, Canada

During the summer months you can watchthe fishermen come in with their dailycatch; you can buy their fish right here!Take a boat ride and explore McNabsIsland. You can also learn the greathistory of Fisherman’s Cove by enjoyinga historic walk of the area.

If you like to shop, you'll love the manyshops of Fisherman’s Cove. There is abeautiful gallery where you can purchasethe art of local artists and our other shopswhere you can purchase souvenirs,Maritime art crafts, unique folk art, andmuch more. For details, see http://www.fishermanscove.ns.ca/

I've only been to Fisherman's Cove once. It was on a Sunday in May, 2011. Unfortunately, the only stores openwere a bakery and a gallery. The cookies were delicious. This is a scenic area and I suspect it would be a lot of fun to visit when all the shops are open.



http://www.fishermanscove.ns.ca/

Renting a Car in HalifaxYou can tour the Halifax area on the ship's excursion buses, public buses, private tours, or rental cars. I prefer arental car for several reasons:

• The distances are not far and the roads are good,• Complete flexibility to go where I want, when I want, and stay the length of time I choose,• I can stop to take photos which is better than trying to take pictures through dirty, reflective windows on

a moving bus, and• Cost to rent a full size Chrysler van with room for six is $ 120 for the rental, insurance, and gas.

That's only $ 20 per person!

I rented a car in October 2010 and May 2011. It was a great way to tour.

Step-by-Step Approach to Using a Rental Car to Tour Halifax Area:Book you car via internet, long before your cruise. There are several rental agencies. We use Avis CarRental at 1717 Grafton Street (902-492-2847). It's a convenient location about a mile from the ship and onlytwo blocks from the Citadel. We can drop the car off, walk around the area, and then return to the ship.

Use www.CruiseCritic.com roll calls to post you have rented a car and have room for 4 people. We've metnice people on both of our trips to Halifax and enjoyed the ride together.

Program your GPS with the stops BEFORE you go on the cruise. I use these addresses in my TomTom.Your GPS might need slightly different addresses because it may program differently than mine

Fairview Lawn (Titanic) Cemetery Windsor St – Strawberry Hill St, Halifax, NSFishermans Cove Government Wharf Rd-shore Rd, Eastern Passage, NSGas Station Hollis St- Barrington St, Halifax, NSPeggys Cove Peggys Point Rd – Church Rd, Peggys Cove, NS

You'll need Canadian quarters for the pay phone and bridge toll. The Halifax-Dartmouth bridge toll is $ 1dollar each way to visit Fisherman's Cove. You'll also need a quarter to use the pay phone in the cruise shipterminal to call the car rental agency. Get 12 Canadian quarters at a shop or at one of the souvenir booths in theterminal. They exchanged my US dollars 1:1 for Canadian money.

Call the car rental (Avis is on 902-492-2847) from the cruise ship terminal and ask them to pick you up. Thepayphones take a quarter and are located at the North end of the passenger terminal next to the informationbooth. It takes about 20-30 minutes for Avis to pick you up and take you to the rental office. In about 15minutes, you're on your way. Ships dock early in the morning, but car rental agencies don't open until 8 AM.

First stop = Peggy's Cove. I go to Peggy's Cove first because it is the longest drive and the most important siteto visit. My GPS directs me to Peggys Point Rd & Church Rd, Peggys Cove, NS

The map on the following page shows the details for the following locations at Peggy's Cove.

1- Peggys Point Rd & Church Rd, Peggys Cove, NS

2- Visitor information center. Be sure to park here to visit the center and use the toilets. Drive to the East endof the parking lot to take some photos.

3- Park the car on the side of the road at Lobster Ln. Visit the shops and take some photos.

4- Park the car in the lot East of the shop/restaurant. Be sure to go into the shop to see the souvenirs andperhaps have a cup of coffee. I think it's always windy here. It was chilly in May and October. Wander aroundand takes lots of photos, but be careful not to fall on the rocks. You'll need at least half an hour here.

5- Lighthouse

6- Swissair Flight 111 memorial. As you leave, turn left on Prospect Rd (333) for about 6/10th mile.



http://www.CruiseCritic.com/

Details of Lighthouse on display at the shop/restaurant



Second stop = Fairview Lawn (Titanic) Cemetery

My GPS is programed for Windsor St – Strawberry Hill St, Halifax, NS. If this doesn't work in your GPS, try Windsor St & Connaught St, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

You'll probably spend 20-30 minutes at the cemetery.



Last Stop = Fisherman's Cove 30 Government Wharf Rd, Halifax, NS B3G 1M7, Canada

The closest gas station is at the intersection of Hollis St.& Barrington St, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Stopthere on your way back to the rental agency.

You MUST fill up the gas tank before returning therental car.



User Feedback Is Welcome GoalMy guides are designed to help you plan a great cruise vacation by providing information such as where the ship docks, location of tourist sites, public transit, walking tour maps, things to see and do, travel issues unique to the port, etc. Knowledge of ports is important when planning shore excursions because you have to make many decisions and commitments long before your ship docks. I believe the information in this guide is accurate, however you are responsible to verify accuracy of the information that you use to plan your vacation.

Information on cruise ports frequently changes such as bus routes, admission fees to sites, rental car locations, etc. Cruise Critic is the best source for up-to-date, detailed information on travel details for shore excursions, reviews of cruise ships, etc. There are many knowledgeable people on Cruise Critic who are willing to share their expertise and travel experience.
