Halifax, Canada's oldest English-speaking city, has both historic charm and the excitement of a modern city. It is Atlantic Canada's capital and largest city. It is only two hours by air from other major cities such as Toronto, New York, and Boston.
Halifax has a busy harbourfront and downtown area. The city has a low crime rate and, compared to other Canadian cities, low prices.
Five universities, over 35,000 students, 9 hospitals, and a high percentage of professional workers help to make Halifax one of Canada's five "smart" cities. The city's beautiful environment, friendly people, and many festivals attract visitors from all over the world year-round.
