Car

There are two vehicle entrances to the Halifax Citadel – on Sackville St. and Rainnie Dr., next to the Halifax Common.

Walking

You’re heading for Citadel Hill, the highest point of downtown Halifax. Look for the city’s famous Old Town Clock, which is located at the base of Citadel Hill (on Brunswick Street). Climb the stairs in front of the Clock and you’ll see the entrance for the Halifax Citadel.

Bus

While none of the bus routes service Citadel Hill directly, a number of busses stop nearby on Bell Road or Brunswick Street. Please consult Metro Transit for more details. 

Tour Bus/ Shuttle

Taxi services and tour busses will drop you at the front entrance to the site.

There is an on-site paid parking lot for up to 80 cars located inside the fort’s back parking lot. The rate is $8.50 per visit.
