Travel Diary | Halifax Highlights Tour 🇨🇦✨
Day 1: Downtown Halifax Adventure All attractions are within walking distance—this city feels cozy yet vibrant, like a chill version of Macau (minus the casinos!). 🚶♀️🌆 📍 Maritime Museum of the Atlantic A must-visit for history buffs! 🚢 Exhibits cover centuries of seafaring + a Titanic-themed section (Halifax was the closest port during the tragedy). ⚓️ Pro tip: Join the paid guided tour for deeper insights! 📍 Halifax Ferry Terminal Ferry rides every 30 mins – *10-minute scenic trip* 🚤 BRING CASH ($2.75 exact change!) – The ticket machine *often rejects $20+ bills*. 💸 Views = 10/10 – Worth it for the harbor panoramas! 📸 📍 Evan’s Fresh Seafoods The ferry drops you right at this lobster roll heaven! 🦞 $25 (pre-tax) for a generous roll – fresh, buttery, no regrets. Bonus: Stroll around the quaint market nearby afterward. 📍 Shuck Seafood + Raw Bar OYSTER HAPPY HOUR (🦪 $1.50 each!) + $2 off beers/wines 🍻 We tried: Sober Island (local, small) Fortune Bay NS (local, large) Raspberry Point PEI (Winner! Sweeter & creamier) Surprise: The PEI oysters outshone the locals! 📍 The Bicycle Thief Halifax’s iconic restaurant – huge portions, flavor-packed! 🍝 Our order: Calamari (crispy!) Shrimp pasta (garlicky goodness) Lobster seafood rice (rich, shareable) Dessert: House-made gelato – blood orange & pistachio = MUST-TRY! 🍨 Tip: For two people, one carb dish + one protein avoids overstuffing! 📍 Halifax Waterfront Visit twice—daylight charm vs. sparkling night views are totally different vibes! 🌅🌉 📍 Old Town Clock A postcard-perfect hilltop clocktower ⏰ + sweeping city views. Instagram gold! 📸 📍 Weird Harbour Espresso Bar Viral coffee spot near the museum! ☕ Their iced coffee leans acidic (light roast fans might prefer alternatives). Final Thoughts 💭 ✅ Walkable, compact, but packed with character ✅ Seafood = FRESH & affordable ✅ Mix of history, food, and scenic spots Halifax, you’ve stolen my heart! ❤️ #CanadaTravel #ExploreHalifax #SeafoodLover #HistoricSites #FoodieParadise #WaterfrontViews #TravelGram #CanadianEastCoast #Wanderlust #HiddenGems 🗺️🍴✨
