Halifax Churches, Gardens & Graveyards Self-Guided Audio Tour

About this activity

Explore Halifax's churches, gardens, memorials and historic graveyards on a self-guided walk of about 5–5.5 km and 90–150 minutes.

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.
