Overview
Explore Halifax's churches, gardens, memorials and historic graveyards on a self-guided walk of about 5–5.5 km and 90–150 minutes. Follow 23 mapped stops covering Tripvia's named stories, from Holy Cross Cemetery and the Public Gardens to Citadel Hill, the Old Town Clock and the Old Burying Ground. GPS-triggered audio plays as you reach each point, and a live route map shows your position. Download the tour before setting out for offline use, then start, pause and resume at your own pace. The optional location-based trivia adds a playful way to explore. This is primarily an outdoor, exterior-view experience with no in-person guide. Garden and cemetery gates have opening hours; museum, church and Citadel interiors require separate access or admission.
