Halifax

Halifax serves Nova Scotia’s freshest lobster for $18 per pound, and the waterfront boardwalk stretches 4 km. Citadel Hill’s daily cannon firing draws 200,000 yearly tourists, while the legendary donair — invented in 1973 — remains a $6 staple. Outperforms #6 Ottawa for seafood quality, with 50+ harbourfront restaurants. Maritime hospitality and a storied harbour, including the Titanic burial site, make it a must-visit.
