October 10, 2021 Diedre Savory

Travelers say Halifax is best seen on foot, so park the car and start walking. Immerse yourself in Halifax's rich history at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and be sure to survey the city from the 18th-century Citadel National Historic Site. Then walk into any of Halifax's great bars and restaurants and catch some live music to round out your day.

Went with a large group and had a great time. These guys put on a fun experience with immersive environments. My group dominated Distress Signal, which included an actual fuselage and cockpit from a plane. Highly recommend!

Historic Properties

This charming site is filled with restaurants, pubs, clothing and specialty shops in restored 18th-century buildings on the waterfront.

A beautiful historic area at the harbourfront. Its buildings are antique-type and beautiful. Has lots of options for souvenirs and gifts and surrounded by restaurants of all kinds; from junk food to fancy restaurants. Yet, I didn't like that they close very early in the evening at 6:00, so one can't visit after having a nighttime walk by the harbourfront.
