Halifax Getaway

Independent 3-day Halifax city stay with rail booked separately

Illustration of Halifax Getaway

Amtrak Vacations offers this short, independent getaway to Halifax, Nova Scotia, a 3-day, 2-night package built around 2 nights of hotel accommodation in the city. Travelers choose between a sightseeing city tour of Halifax or a sightseeing tour of Peggy's Cove. Halifax itself is described as a seaside city with a unique culture and a rich maritime history, where visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk, browse its shops, and dine in restaurants known for fresh seafood. The listed from-price of $89 per person covers the hotel and sightseeing tour only; rail travel to and from Halifax is not included and is booked separately, with departures available from any of Amtrak's 500-plus stations across the United States. This suits independent travelers who want a brief, self-guided coastal city stay rather than a long escorted tour.
