fiogf49gjkf0d Halifax International Airport
is located 35km northeast of the city centre and has its own
tourist information office
(daily 9am-10pm). Airbus runs a
bus shuttle
service from the airport to the classier downtown hotels (daily: every 30min to 1hr from 7.30am to 11pm; 40min-1hr 15min depending on traffic; $12 single, $20 return). If you're not staying at one of these, ask the driver how near to your destination he will let you off; for downtown get off at the
Delta Barrington Hotel
, which is on Barrington Street at Duke, right in the centre. The
taxi
fare from the airport to the centre is around $40. The Acadian Lines bus terminal, 6040 Almon St, about 4km northwest of the centre just off Robie Street, houses the long-distance bus station and also DRL buses (for Yarmouth and the South Shore). Transit bus #7 connects the terminal with downtown. The VIA Rail station, Hollis Street at Cornwallis Park, handles just six
trains
in and out per week, connecting Halifax with Truro, New Brunswick, the GaspAŠ and MontrAŠal. From the train station it's a fifteen-minute walk into the centre down Barrington Street, or else catch the #7 or #9 bus (every 15min during the week, hourly on the weekend).
