The Most Beautiful Buildings in Halifax, Nova Scotia
"We loved the crepes and my kids loved the homemade pretzels. Definitely worth a stop for a lunch break while exploring the city. The farmer’s market is right next to the Halifax Discovery Centre so we went here for lunch instead of eating at the Discovery Centre."
"This is a smaller farmers’ market in Halifax but it is still worth your time to check it out. There are 50 vendors selling their unique items. It is a great spot for lunch in the North End."
"The city’s newest farmers’ market is located at the Halifax Forum, just a few minutes from downtown. Enjoy over 50 vendors selling local produce on Saturday’s from 8am-1pm."
"Mic Mac Mall is the place to take the family when you are looking for a first-rate shopping experience. There are also special promotions and events throughout the year that your family can check out. Information on these special events is available on their website or by calling the Guest Services Desk."
"Halifax Shopping Centre is the place to find the newest fashion and toys. They added a new food court and there are new stores being added regularly. There are buses that regularly go and connect to the other areas of HRM."
"What do you get when you combine the best shopping in the region, a strong sense of community and a commitment to the environment?. An interesting place to visit AT Dartmouth Crossing they know that when people think of it they think great shopping and entertainment, but they are also working hard to be good neighbours and friends of the environment. It’s kind of a new idea, but they like it, and they live by it every day."
"813 Bedford Hwy (Mon-Fri 10am-8pm, Sat/Sun 11am-7pm) &2182 Gottingen Street (opening soon!). M&J’s is the friendliest little restaurant that basically specializes in dietary restrictions. Party of 5: one vegan, one celiac, one dairy allergy and a couple omnivores?"
"Had the Gnocchi al forno puttanesca with fresh mozzarella tonight. Highly recommended!. We did curbside pickup because of covid restrictions and the foo..."
"Take a peek into Halifax’s maritime history at this quaint restored 200-year-old fishing village. Stroll along the picturesque boardwalk and admire the fishing boats lining the canal, or browse the area’s artsy boutiques and gallery, showcasing local artists’ paintings, prints and cards. Restaurants and seafood shacks here take great pride in the fish dishes prepared using daily catches."
"Located in Eastern Passage, this 200-year old restored fishing village looks just like a postcard. Grab a water taxi to nearby McNab’s Island, stroll the boardwalk with an ice cream, or browse locally-made souvenirs at one of the many quaint shops. *Seasonal attraction"
"Fisherman’s Cove is an over 200-year-old fishing village that allows you to peek back in time, and learn about Nova Scotia’s fishing history. There are many shops to explore, and find unique people, art, crafts and souvenirs."
"This Georgian sandstone building known as Province House, completed in 1819, is the seat of Nova Scotia's Parliament, in existence since 1758. The guided tour includes the "Red Chamber" where the Council used to meet, as well as the parliament chamber and the library that, with its two grand staircases, was once the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. This is where, in 1835, Joseph Howe defended himself against the charge of defamation."
"The Province House is the seat of the Nova Scotia Government, and Charles Dickens once described Canada’s oldest provincial legislative assembly as “a gem of Georgian architecture…like looking at Westminster through the wrong end of a telescope.” Visit the National Historic Site in downtown Halifax.

"The Province House is where the Nova Scotia Legislature, known officially as the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, has met every year since 1819. The building is Canada's oldest house of government. Standing three stories tall, the structure is considered one of the finest examples of Palladian architecture in North America."
"Set in the center of the city is the star-shaped Halifax Citadel which looms over downtown from atop of its prominent hilltop. Such is its strategic position that four forts have been built in the same spot since 1749 with the current citadel having been completed in 1856. Besides wandering around the grounds and fortifications of the National Historic Site, visitors can also stop by its on-site Army Museum."
"One of the not-to-miss things to do in Halifax is to make your way up to the Halifax Citadel. The Halifax Citadel was a fortification that stood guard over the city. This national historic site will take you back in time from its origin in 1856 through World War II and today."
