Halifax Stanfield International Airport Shuttles
With over 20 miles (33 km) to trek through, the distance between Halifax Airport and the unique fisherman’s paradise waiting downtown can be a daunting adventure, though something to look forward to if you’ve got nothing but time on your hands. Enjoy scenic homes and towering forests in the rural outskirts with a shuttle to help with the view, booking through either local sedan companies or area shuttle van providers for competitive rates and guaranteed comfort.

Before you get dropped off, get to know the beauty of the region by considering each neighborhood, from the central museums, historic churches, and art galleries in South End, a popular peninsula with all the city’s most popular landmarks, downtown Dartmouth across Macdonald Bridge, home to quaint waterside cafés and relaxing views of departures from Ferry Terminal Park. A good balance between busy and quiet can be found in North End, a suburban area away from downtown’s buzz and closer to the shores of Bedford Basin, while the even quieter Armdale provides countless hours of parkland to walk through.

Keep your eye on the ball to ensure nothing passes you, starting with your shuttle reservations. Print out your confirmation out to have all logistics on paper, from pick-up time to drop-off location, doing the same with hotel and event bookings, from tickets to Neptune Theatre to views of the bay at Harbour Hopper Tours. Another useful way to keep everything together is by keeping a travel journal on your person, enjoying the ease of hidden compartments and sleeves for important documents all in one place.

Halifax Destinations
A gorgeous port city looking out at the North Atlantic Ocean, Halifax is Nova Scotia’s provincial capital, offering stately landmarks and historic forts at the heart of the downtown peninsula. Start your tour of the area at the 18th-century Citadel Hill, a uniquely-shaped fort that looks out at the skyline from an elevated mound, while the nearby Halifax Harbour provides a constant flurry of ferry boats, waterside casinos, and historic properties along the water. An especially important part of the harbour is Pier 21, which historically brought over 1 million immigrants to Canada in the 20th century, not to mention countless museums that include the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Argyle Fine Art, and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.

Find quieter corners of town by venturing to the outskirts, watching a sunset across Margaret’s Bay from Peggy’s Point Lighthouse, home to a famous shoreline with an iconic 1914 red-and-white striped lighthouse, or enjoying the isolated scenery of McNab’s Island, a water-wrapped park with old forts and rocky coves. For an even balance between downtown and nature, head to Point Pleasant Park, located just south of the city and known for its peninsula promenades, paths, and idyllic lawn performances with Shakespeare by the Sea. End the evening at the best eatery in town, stopping by The Bicycle Thief for casual Italian, or delve into the late-night eats and drinks at The Stubborn Goat Gastropub.
