Halifax, just 6 hours from London, is the capital of Nova Scotia, an interesting holiday destination and the major transportation hub. Its waterfront is a popular spot with wooden buildings and fine stone structures of 18th-century Halifax blending with its more modern architecture. The harbour is one of Halifax's most outstanding features and is an exciting place to be. On the waterfront, you can stroll along the piers, join a walking tour or explore the Maritime Museum with its Titanic artefacts, the many historic sites and points of interest in the city. Peggy's Cove with its much photographed lighthouse is located on Nova Scotia's south shore, only 30 miles from Halifax.
