THE PERFECT 24HRS IN HALIFAX | Waterfront, Maritime Museum + Lots Of Fresh Seafood!

Halifax has SO MUCH to offer! I deeply regretted scheduling only 1 day to explore this amazing city because there was a lot more to see and do. But nevertheless, you can see quite a bit of the city in 24hrs, so join me and Ryan on our adventures of trying out some of the best restaurants in the city and visiting top attractions like the Waterfront, Maritime Museum, Pier 21 and Alexander Keith's Brewery!
A big thank you to Discover Halifax for giving us some attraction passes and restaurant meals! Check out their website down below for more great recommendations in Halifax: discoverhalifa...

I went to Dalhousie University in Halifax many years ago. I then moved back to Montreal but part of my heart stayed in Halifax. It’s a WONDERFUL place to be!

[@AlinaMcleod]

That’s lovely!

[@cathygillies7271]

Have visited Halifax many times as I live in Cape Breton. The city just keeps growing and really does have a lot to enjoy. Interesting how during the pandemic many other Canadians discovered the city and also the rest of Nova Scotia.

[@luckyclover_jp]

I am seriously considering moving to Halifax. This city has always seemed like an amazing and appealing place to me, and I want to explore all the opportunities it offers. From beautiful nature to a rich cultural scene, Halifax promises to be a cozy and interesting place to live. I am inspired and ready for a new chapter in my life, and Halifax feels like a place where I can find my spot and start a new journey.

[@markdunham6644]

Don’t do it…

[@bnice8940]

HALIFAX! Beautiful city! Beautiful people. 😊😊

[@melsvids73]

Yeah it’s nice you finally got out of that concrete jungle of Toronto! Halifax and Martimes are definitely on my bucket list. Pier 21 was where my parents came to first from Greece in 50s. Great travel guide with Ryan (cute little microphone too Alina 👍🏼)

[@jimross7648]

A very nice tour of the Halifax Dartmouth harbour areas. Although I never been to any of Canada's Maritime Provinces I've worked with a number former residents of all these provinces. Several of my friends were from the Spryfield neighborhood in Halifax. They told many stories of the cities so I sort of know about them, while never actually visiting them. Thanks for showing me things I'd heard about, and for patiently taking some of Ryan's quips about your day. He did add some great colour commentary.

[@AlinaMcleod]

That’s awesome! Hope you are able to visit there sometime, much to see!

[@joyyyy777]

Halifax is awesome!! Beautiful friendly people and amazing food. Definitely must- visit city in Canada 🇨🇦

[@spencerclements3005]

I live in Dartmouth! Thank you for highlighting The Canteen! And it's nice to see some fellow evening coffee lovers! I get laughed to scorn if I drink coffee after 3 lol

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Halifax is a great city. Harriet and I have been many times. When we lived in Boston , we would go there just to enjoy the seafood. New England has great seafood. But Halifax takes it to another level. The scallops are to die for. Lobster rolls are a staple in New England (Maine and Massachusetts.) . Hope you enjoyed them in Halifax. Friendly people and beautiful landscapes. Alina, you captured its essence in this video.❤❤ It's nice to see Ryan again. Looking rather dapper. Hope you're doing ok. Sending much love❤ from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki

[@AlinaMcleod]

Very true, the seafood is on another level here!

[@RottieGuy1980]

sea food is better outside the city, South Shore area..........

[@pvdogs2]

Dartmouth was a city until 1996 when it amalgamated with Bedford, Halifax and Halifax County.

[@helenstratigos4862]

Ahh this was wonderful, Alina and Ryan! Love how chill you both are - fits right in with the Halifax vibes! I enjoyed Ryan's puns, ngl! 😆By the way, many years ago, Toronto's harbourfront did in fact have a "Hippopotamus" boat/bus! Hilarious. Wish I had taken it at least once. 🤷‍♀

Thank you!! Wish Toronto still had that haha

Halifax reminds me a lot of my hometown of Liverpool. Both are major maritime centres with their best attractions on the waterfront, both have many of formerly dodgy areas that have been neatened up, and there are loads of good seafood restaurants near the water.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Would love to visit Liverpool sometime!

[@mrsamice3416]

Great video, thank you! We visited Halifax a few years ago end of October - many things were already closed but we loved the Citadel and Pier 21. Toronto also had Hippo tours - bus on land and water but they had to close 2012 because their access to the only land-water ramp into Lake Ontario at Ontario Place was discontinued.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Oh wow, I didn’t know that!

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

A perfect trip in Halifax!❤

[@napke8571]

Wonderful episode and Halifax seems an interesting place to visit. I love harbors, ships and other maritime things so that museum must be a bucketlist thing there. The food looks delicious, so you maybe have convinced me to start my Canada trip in Halifax than travel further to BC/Alberta ( mountain person here ) have to figure some things out for next year of 2025. Keep up the good work, it is enjoyable and informative as well👌

Halifax reminds me a lot of Saskatoon or Victoria despite being on the opposite side of Canada. There’s definitely an underlying “Canadiana” feeling that you get no matter which part of the country you’re in that you just don’t get as much in the US or in any other country (save for maybe the UK). Also loved the jokes from Ryan. Hope to see him in some more videos. Wondering if you’ll complete the journey across Canada by going to Newfoundland next?

For sure, will definitely keep that in mind for future videos. Nowadays the average sit down restaurant meal in Canada is around $30 per person I would say with tax and tip.
