Bow your head, say a prayer and perhaps even light a candle in St. Marys Cathedral Basilica. This grand religious building may not be open 24/7, so check ahead for times if you'd like to see inside.

Situated in Downtown Halifax, this principal church is worth including in your schedule. But you'll find lots more to see and do in the area. Halifax Citadel, Dalhousie University, and Public Gardens Park are within close reach of St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica.

8.2/10 Very Good! (631 reviews)

This is a nice little motel. It is reasonable, clean and the staff are great, especially, Mike, who cooks great bacon and eggs! The pool is clean and the place is quiet. We stayed for three nights while we toured the area, and would highly recommend a stay at the Mermaid Inn.
