9/10 Wonderful! (2,153 reviews)

We chose this place because its in the perfect location to explore all the museums and heritage sites that we wanted to see. We used the underground parking garage for the 3 days which was lovely to have a safe secure spot and not have to worry about the car. Everything you need is with walking distance. Would recommend to anyone visiting Halifax for the first time, like us.
