Halifax - Harborfront

The harbor front area of Halifax has been refurbished as "Historic Properties", an attractive pedestrian precinct containing restored 19th C stone warehouses and old wharf buildings made into bright shops and artists' studios, restaurants and taverns with terraces overlooking the harbor. The roads are closed to normal traffic. The square between two warehouses has been roofed over to make an equally attractive mall; there are sightseeing cruises round the harbor, some of them on sailing ships.

Harbor cruises depart from Privateers' Wharf, daily from June to mid-October (duration: 2 hours).
