Where Should I go: Naples or Halifax?

Naples

Located on the Gulf of Mexico on Florida's southwest coast, Naples is a city best known for its high-end shopping opportunities and golf courses, as well as miles of beaches with calm waters and fine sugar-white sand.

Halifax

The quaint and charming coastal town of Halifax, Nova Scotia has an interesting personality. While it caters to travelers from all over the world, it maintains the pace and lifestyle of a small town.

Steeped in maritime history, Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia, and one of the world's greatest natural harbors. This busy seaport serves as the economic and cultural hub of Eastern Canada.

When planning your trip keep in mind that this city has a climate like other coastal cities. Summers are nice with the occasional humidity. Winters are mild, but still full of snow and wind. The best time of year to visit is most certainly the fall.
