Renting a cottage in the greater Halifax area will allow you to discover the charms of a sea-port city with a rich maritime history and all the cultural, festive activities that are typical of a university town: boutiques, crafts studios, art galleries, nightclubs, pubs, and outdoors concerts. In short, it’s the go-to place for going out and having fun! Halifax is also the hometown of master brewer Alexander Keith, whose original brewery was founded in 1820. A seaside walk will give you a great view of the world’s second-largest ice-free harbour. During the summer, you’ll see magnificent tall ships and maybe pay a visit to one of Dartmouth’s many cafés and restaurants.
