Visit Cape Breton and PEI if you want some amazing scenery and relaxing times. Visit Halifax if you want to be swarmed by groups of angry preteens that will beat you with sticks and tiny little fists of fury.
Never really understood why people went to the maritimes to visit Halifax (and I've lived there). Sure, it's a pretty big town for the maritimes, but if you wanted to go see a big city, you wouldn't go to the maritimes in the first place. It's all about the small town culture, the landscape, and the water over here.

I am also from the Right Island!!! (PEI)
I would stay only one day in Halifax. Like HP said it's really just another city.
My Suggestion for the best scenery would be to drive from Halifax with a quick stop for a picture a Peggys Cove to the South Shore, Lunenburg area (This is where the Bluenose was made).
I believe the fall Lobster season is just about ready to start in Sou West Nova!
Depending on how much time you are planning on spending in the area I would spend a day or two in the Lunenburg area and then book it to the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton.
Unfortunatly there are so many things to see that one week will not be enough. Like I said I am from the Maritimes and these are just a couple of my favorite places (scenic) to go.
If you would like some other ideas pm me! I spent the better part of 4 summers travelling around the Maritimes on my bike. I could go on and on!
