Good to know before you go
The currency is the Canadian dollar and English is the main language. Downtown is compact and easily walkable, with public buses and harbour ferries to hop between Halifax and Dartmouth, and Uber is handy around town. To reach Peggy's Cove or explore the wider province a rental car helps, though under-25 surcharges are common, so organized day tours are a good car-free alternative. Parking downtown is manageable and traffic is light by big-city standards. The city is safe and welcoming.
