Information
Geography: Halifax is located on the
east coast of Canada.
It has an international airport with direct flights to major Canadian, American
and European cities.
Climate: Due to the proximity of the ocean, the climate in Halifax in the
late spring is usually more moderate than in most of Canada. High temperatures
in late May could be expected to be near 18 C. However, the weather in May can
be expected to be rather variable, ranging from warm and dry to cool and wet.
Getting Around: The city of Halifax is a peninsula of overall dimensions
about 3 km x 4 km. Therefore visitors can easily explore the city (restaurants,
museums, waterfront, parks, etc.) on foot. There is also public transportation.
