Due to Covid I hadn’t been back to the Halifax port for about 5 years. The years have not been kind to the waterfront. There are less shops and restaurants to choose from and more condos and construction
Now in 2024 the shops are still limited, but more kiosks are open. They continue to build more condos on the waterfront
In 2022, I went on a port excursion to Peggy’s cove via greyline highland tours. I do not recommend them. They allow you only 45 to 50 minutes in the cove even though they say you have an hour. The guide said the hour starts at the outskirts of the village and it takes the bus about 10 minutes to park. She was a drill Sargent of a guide not following the tour description.
Halifax is easy to see on your own walking everywhere. But the hills might be a challenge . I recommend
The craft market right in the cruise terminal. The prices were the same or cheaper than in town
The art gallery $9 for seniors
The citadel has the great views
The casino is a 20 minute walk from the ship
The public gardens are free and pretty
The port walk is about 30 minutes one way from the ship to the casino if your sauntering and people watching. The fishermen are catching mackerel during the transition to high tide
It’s an easy port with lovely people
Hope this helps
Marcia
