Halifax is the historical yet hip capital of Nova Scotia. Located on the second-largest natural harbor in the world, the city has a rich maritime history. It was also home to Pier 21, an immigration center that welcomed 1.5 million people in the 1900s. Visitors can learn about the city’s history at the National Museum of Immigration, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. Halifax’s beautiful oceanfront location offers endless outdoor activities and recreation too, which is ideal if you’re traveling with a dog. Point Pleasant Park is a large urban park on the peninsula, where there are miles of trails, some of which are off-leash. You can also bring dogs to the Halifax Waterfront, which is lined with shops and eateries with outdoor dining.
