Halifax Citadel National Historic Site, Halifax

You might need a full day to explore Halifax Citadel, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Canada. A visit to the Army Museum includes watching "The Tides of History," and experiencing the day-to-day life of a soldier or his wife in the mid-Victorian era. Walk through the barracks, take a seat in an old classroom or have a look at the communications exhibit. Guided tours are offered and there are often special events during the summer months. Fees vary depending on the season.
