Do the tour as it's very investing and informative. take kids to the Tailer Shop to try on clothes and the School Room to try fountain pens and slates.

I did not imagine that this historic place would be a great place to visit ... Full of stories and old stuff that makes you wonder of the old Canadian history

the trees during the fall are perfect for beautiful pictures! studying on the hill is a "must" for fall midterms!

Interesting parts of the area’s history, and gorgeous views of the city and harbour !

The level of commitment the actors play to their roles is truly wonderful.

If you're in Halifax, you really want to get up to the fortress and explore its history.

Fun games for the kids, well educated interpreters and constant activity.

Great spot to walk about in the early hours.

The tour and interaction with staff make the place come alive

Beautiful location. Worth a visit.

Historical area with sweeping Harbour views !

For great view of the world's 2nd largest natural harbour . Imagine 1749 with British ships arriving, and Aboriginal Mi'Kmaq left in a quandry.

the side of the hill by south park and sackville gets the best sun mid-day!

Try the Ghost Tour - there are some great stories and you get to see the Citadel at night in the dark!

Very fun to bike around there

Go to Citadel Hill for the Noon Gun firing. Its louder than you think! And even more awesome.

Awesome hill workout with ma Bestie!

Don´t miss the firing demonstrations...

nice views of the harbour

Drop into the Coffee Bar--LOVELY service & great soup .

Everywhere you want to be is always on the other side of the citadel.
