Downtown Halifax is a great spot to be. There are so many little shops and great outdoor cafes. Just head downhill towards the harbour, and you're bound to run into at least one place that you love. If you're a drinker, you'll definately want to tour the Keith's Brewery. Just because. You gotta hit up The Freak Lunchbox on Barrington at least once while you're here. Just picture a relatively small store, chockerblock full with candy. It's pretty cool. Pizza Corner in dwntwn hfx is great. The Citadel's kinda interesting too.
But my best bet would be to just walk downhill. You'll enjoy it. Or, if you're there in the summer, take a ride on the Harbour Hopper. It'll take you pretty much all over Halifax, by both land and water. Pretty cool. Don't forget to wave! But just go, enjoy yourself.

all human beings else has already reported a number of the perfect places to devour so I won't bypass into that too plenty yet permit me reiterate that Your Father's Moustache (Spring backyard Rd) is outstanding. a great place for a lot of different styles of beer is Maxwells Plum, in simple terms down the line from the Metro center. so a techniques as close by specialities is going make certain he tries a Donair.

Everything, lol. I'm addicted to Halifax, which is why my boyfriend and I are taking trips there, at least once a year.
