Come, let me take you on a tour of Halifax.

View from above of the fort Halifax was built around:

This guy (do you recognize him from a kids show? He lives here in real life!) lives at our waterfront and takes tourists and children for rides in our harbour



This is not Halifax, but a close area called Peggys Cove. Very famous for its beauty.



Historical Fact: Our city was nearly wiped out in its entirety in 1917 by The Halifax Explosion. A ship in the harbour carrying explosives caught fire. Nearly a MILE outward in every direction from the explosion was damaged. Things closer to the waterfront of course, had more damage. Many passed away, but as well Halifax came together as a city to rebuild. I suspect this is why there is a real feeling of community here that you do not find in most cities. here is a picture from back then to show the devastation:



There are many cultures present in Halifax, one of which includes the Buddhist community. This is a shot of the meditation room in the Shambhala Center. The room itself is a sight to behold, so pretty. This picture doesn't really do it justice but I can't find a better one.



There are some truly beautiful churches as well, like the Saint Mary's Basilica.





The inside is equally gorgeous, but I can't find any pictures of it.

We have much culture here, this next photo was taken at Yuk Yuks comedy club, where anyone can apply to do comedy on stage:



If Theatre is more your thing and you also like food, try Halifax Dinner Theatre:


The actors also serve your food throughout. Its quite a neat experience.

If you are looking for old timey fun, there are a couple of bars where everyone dresses in old fashioned clothing:
