When visiting Halifax at Nova scotia you should spend a few hours at the citadel, it is a really great way to explore the city history and learn about it more, many guides there will be happy to talk to you. every hour you can see the guards change and at noon there is a canon firing to tell the city it is exactly 12:00

 

 

The Anne Frank house, located at 263 Prinsengracht (although the entrance is at number 267), is a really interesting monument. The house is the place where Anne’s father, Otto’s,  businesses was and where they were hiding from the Nazi regime for  25 months (July 6, 1942 -September 3, 1944). It is very interesting to see the rooms and the hiding places where they have actually been.

Directions: Trams 13 and 17 from Central Station, get off at Westermarkt station.

I agree, this is probably not the most cultural museum but it is defiantly one of the most fun ones, it used to be so much more fun but few years ago they have changed it (you used to be able to drink as much as you can, now i think you get like 3 pints or so) but the atmosphere is great and you will meet some fun crazy people there. So if you are already there – this is worth the visit.

The snow castle is located in the city of Kemi, which is an hour and a half train ride from Roveniemi, and it is the same place where the icebreaker tours are departing from so the best thing is to visit there after the icebreaker tour (in case you are going on this tour). There are lots of rooms and many other  great stuff made of  ice and it is really amazing.

This is a really interesting museum. nothing there but this huge well preserved viking ship which on 10 August 1628  set sail for the first time and sank right when leaving at the Stockholm harbor and was discovered in 1961.  As someone who doesn’t like museums so much I can defiantly say this one is interesting and well structured.
