The city has the world’s largest downtownboardwalk that runs for over 4km along the magnificent Halifax harbour.

Just a short drive away, for example, is the vibrantcommunity of Lunenburg. Filled with brightly painted houses, this town is known for being the home of the famous Bluenose II fishing vessel. If you look on the Canadian dime, you can find a picture of the original Bluenose.
Another great weekend getaway from Halifax is Prince Edward Island. The home of Anne of Green Gables, this Island has red sand beaches and extremely friendly people. The Eastern provinces of Canada have a beauty of their
own and offer some magical places to visit when you are not studying.
