Getting There : The address is 5425 Sackville St. Halifax, NS, although you can just key the Citadel into your GPS. If you are walking: Start uphill on any street on the Halifax Waterfront and head toward Brunswick St. Look for the Old Town Clock, located at the base of Citadel Hill. Climb the stairs in front of the Clock and you’ll see the entrance for the Halifax Citadel.

Note from Robin : It’s impolite to ask a soldier in a kilt if he wears anything underneath it. Although being Canada, and knowing these are mere actors, go ahead and do it anyway.
