Halifax is an impressive place to visit in Canada — it’s laid back in nature, yet brimming with historical places and warm hospitality. The residents of the area refer to themselves as Haligonians, and pride at being as helpful as they can to the people who come across their county. Wander your way to the Port of Halifax, which is the center that connects some 150 cities. If nightlife’s your thing, you’ll surely cherish the offerings Halifax has in folk and live music hot-spots. Those into drama and theatricals should, of course, take a peek at its performing arts segments. Halifax also offers plenty of accommodations ranging from afforable hotels to the best vacation rentals. If you’re still wondering where you should sleep your nights out, look no further than the best Airbnbs in Halifax Downtown, Canada.
