Head here early on Saturday mornings for great deals: fresh veggies, bottles of homemade jam, innovative samosas and even live fiddle music! It's impossible to resist all the foody delights, and you might even score some sweet new jewelry.
One of the best ways to see the city skyline is to take the Halifax Harbour Ferry to Dartmouth, just across the water. On a warm summer day, you can sit on the top deck and enjoy some peace and quiet while appreciating the fantastic view of one of Canada's oldest cities.
If you're looking to end the day with a fun night out on the town, make The Bitter End your first stop. A classy, more mature bar, this is the place to be if you're a martini maven. Enjoy the laid-back, swanky atmosphere of east coast life!
