I watched this video in July 2018. Went to Halifax/Dartmouth in August. Took less than 24 hours to decide we are moving to Dartmouth,NS. Sold the house and we arrive Christmas Eve 2019 !!! This province is stunningly beautiful, rich in history and culture and the nicest people we have ever known. Making NS home was the easiest decision we have ever made! Excellent video!!!!

This is so great, I have an awesome time showing you guys around! Come back soon! :)

I can't believe you never mentioned the historic fort on Citadel Hill and of course the famous clock tower.

You should have gotten me to be your tour guide in Halifax. I know all the best hidden gems and all the great areas to really show Halifax at its finest. This lady only touched a corner of the surface of what Halifax is.

I really miss Nova Scotia

Thanks for sharing. Canadians are amazing and polite. Halifax, NS is my dream place. 😊

your cinematographic skils are splendid . I've 'seen your several videos n all are amazing

the air is so fresh in Halifax that is one thing I noticed coming from Montreal on a visit and all the fish is amazing.

The Canteen, a somewhat new restaurant, is already famous for its affordable and apparently incredibly good crawbster roll (only available at lunch).

Halifax nova Scotia lovely beautiful places

Wow！ Was just breathtaking

Moved to Calgary in my 20s. Lots of texts pointing out how much was missed . What you did convey is how utterly relaxing Halifax can be, and the fact that lots of great areas and sites weren't even mentioned says a lot about Halifax . Thanx for the video.

There is so so much more to Halifax ...... ! Also the Beer and tomatoe started in Dormrooms in the late 70's . As a hangover cure but then found favor on hot days too. Again so much more to Halifax . One week would not be long enough to take it all in.

I love this i

I love tap dancing in Halifax

Saludos desde Perú.excelente video

I was born and have lived all of my 49 years here in Toronto, but my mother is from the Halifax area, that’s where she met my father, who is from Toronto but was in the Navy, and as most Canadians know Halifax is a huge naval base for the Canadian Navy. Over 60 years ago, One fateful spring evening, my mother was dragged to a dance by one of her friends, my dad, who was on shore leave, was dragged to the same dance one of his friends. I dad was actually dancing with my mother‘s friend, but suddenly her friends husband walked in the door, and quickly told my mom to take over for her, as she did not want her husband seeing her dancing with another man. My dad help my mom by the waist, as they danced and looked into each other‘s eyes, and both say the same thing, it was instant love. My dad was so poor as a sailor, my mom had to buy him a cup of coffee after the dance, she still jokes about it to this day over 60 years later. Like any typical Nova Scotia, mom comes from a really big family, and they all still live there, in a small town about two hours away from downtown Halifax, called Atigonish. Back then it was a much different environment. My mother is from a strict Catholic family, and my dad was from an Anglican family, so when they got married, almost nobody from mom side of the family attended the wedding because they didn’t approve of her mixed faith wedding, even though they’re both part of the Christian faith, that was the mentality of the people back then, And to top it all off, I’m a gay man, and my mother, God love her, never told her family up until Facebook came along, because she was convinced that all never except me, but she underestimated her family and her city. I haven’t been there very many times, Just because it’s overwhelming to go there because we’re related to over half the town, and that is not an exaggeration. She had nine brothers and sisters, and told me that was one of the smaller families when she was growing up. So every time she goes there she is overwhelmed by all of her brothers/sister/nephew/nieces/etc....But it wasn’t until last year that I finally went with them, mostly because mom and dad are in their mid-80s and suffer from several health problems and no longer like travelling unaccompanied, so I went with them, and finally got to meet my family. They’re all scattered around the Halifax region, if they were homophobic they certainly didn’t show it, I’ve never been more smothered with love and hugs and kisses in my life! Unfortunately several of my mom‘s family and both her parents died a long time ago, but the ones remaining are more than enough as it took us over a week to meet about half of them. Are the warmest kindest loving people you could ever meet, and Halifax is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever been to. In my life I’ve travelled to almost every major city on earth, each one having its own unique flavor, appeal, energy, etc. But there’s something about Halifax that was so different, I don’t know if it’s because I have family there, but keep in mind these are people life never met before, I didn’t even know their names, but I felt like I’d come home, and was so relaxed, I did not want to go back to Toronto. It’s a small city, with just a little over a half million people, and it’s really spread out, it’s not your typical big city, I have some skyscrapers, but to me it’s a Pio wasn’t what are usually expect, I can’t even put into words, but the city felt like it had a spirit, almost as if it were alive, and it gave you the most wonderful feeling of warmth and love I’ve ever experienced in a strange city. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to spend a couple of days just wondering around downtown, because Mom And Dad couldn’t do it and they were too much family to visit. I am definitely coming back though, and I’m not telling anyone I’m there until after I finished exploring Halifax. It just has this beautiful vibe, the food is incredible, the history holds an Intercal and irreplaceable part of Canada’s very beginnings. So much of my country wouldn’t even exist had it not been for Halifax and Pier 21, which was the main pier that every immigrants from Europe arrived at, before they had passenger planes and relied solely on ships to cross the Atlantic from Europe to Canada. I’m 10th generation Canadian, and every one of those ancestors crossed for threshold into Canada via Pier 21. Mostly from England and Ireland, I can trace my lineage back to that very pier, and less I stood there looking at it, it was almost surreal, even a bit spooky, knowing that I wouldn’t be standing there headed not been for that pier. I could literally sense the excitement, or for striation, the insecurity, and all the other emotions that come along with reading your own country behind in starting a new in a foreign land. So many Canadians owe their very existence to that pier. But that aside, I don’t know, there’s just something about Halifax that is so unique, a feeling unlike any other I felt in the many cities I’ve been to throughout my life. On the surface frankly it’s not really something that sticks out in your mind, it has some qualities of a big city, but not many. It has a small downtown core, but the tallest office building is only about 30 stories. Here in Toronto, that’s not even considered a building, that’s just the structure, but there is so much history in Halifax, you can feel it almost everywhere you go downtown, it’s permeated the roads, the buildings, the air, and every other sense. There are several buildings there hundreds of years old, although the vast majority of the structures were destroyed in the Halifax explosion, which happened on December 6, 1917, we’re two ships in the harbour delighted, one was carrying nothing but explosives, it was on its way to Europe to the front during World War I, and Halifax was being used as a safe harbour for the allied forces before heading to Europe. When these two bullets collided it created the largest pre-atomic explosion in recorded history, and Completely destroyed the entire downtown core. It’s amazing how many people don’t know anything about it, and I’m in shock that no Hollywood producer has made it into a blockbuster hit, because it’s one hell of a story. Apparently I lost several family members in that explosion, I think it was about 2000 people were killed and over 10,000 injured, but in total about 20,000 people were homeless, because I’m not kidding when I say the city was flattened. It was such a powerful explosion, they found a 10 ton anchor from one of the ships over 3 miles away. If ever you want to learn more about it, just Google it, after reading about it you’ll see what I mean. It’s almost as if the soles of all those people still walk the streets of Halifax, because while busy, it just feels a lot more crowded than it really is, with no explanation whatsoever. In any case, if ever you get the chance to go, I’d highly recommend it, just keep an open mind and have fun, and like She said in the video, two things you have to try, the beer and the lobster, probably two for most iconic Canadian things in Nova Scotia!

Good vid..but you missed Spring Garden Rd, Pizza Corner.. the History Museum, Citidel Hill , Public Gardens, Point Pleasant Park and Commons.. there is more to Halifax ... than just beer and lobster.

😊😊👍👍👍👍😍

I've seen several good reports on The Bicycle Thief - will be stopping there for a lobster roll in October!

Amazing city! My mouth is watering to see this fresh food!

The beer with clamato is michelada en español

I'm kind of in the preparation stage of obtaining an open work permit to visit and work in Canada, I very much like Halifax, NS as a place to immigrate to. How hard would it be for a white, fluent in English speaking person from the UK (with work experience in HR and the military) to find and obtain work? The English and Irish notably have strong historical ties to NS, now would we still be treated as equals in terms of finding work and overall welcomed? Just looking for opinions guys.

I've heard winters there are very harsh, is this true? How long do winters last? Great vid. btw... :-)

Hi, that's a great place for living, I was wondering if I could go fishing with any permission? I mean just to get 2 or 3 fishes

Nice place! Did you need a Mex hard worker?

Where can i find the trailer park boys

Halifax is a beautiful and very interesting place to visit or live in, I would like to live there.

Second largest natural harbour is Poole, UK

A conversation with Andy Fillmore

waiting to become a haligonian.....

Olá *Arienne Parzei* estava navegando e pesquisando qual provincia escolher pra iniciar meu projeto Canada (qual local ir nesse país maravilhoso), e achei Halifax --- fiquei encantada com essa cidade. Ai vou eu, o #planocanadá está a todo vapor, tenho muito o que fazer. Espero te conhecer pessoalmente por ai... espero em breve estar ai, do Brasil para Canada ;) no final de 2019 ou inicio de 2020. Continue fazendo vídeos sobre Halifax ... amei teu canal :) Obs: minha primeira vez aqui, esse é seu primeiro que assisto d: Logo ativarei meu canallll

Gentrification That’s what’s happening to the North End.

3:07 YAY, Gentrification!

Hi Cailin O'neil you are sweet lady...

Who else lives here🙋‍♀️

It is nice there but very hard to find a decent job

Which city do you prefer for study and practice english for 6 months, Halifax NS or Victoria BC? im 28 years old, i dont want a city with many spanish speaking people because my main goal is to improve my english, also i want to stay in a city with a lot of nature and and not so boring for a 28 years old guy.

No comment... seeyousoonca :-) :-) :-) wait what... wheres the lobster :-) :-) :-)

Who came here bc of Danny Green?

Donair is Middle Eastern

I’m 65so is there good health support for us growing older?🤷🏻‍♂️🤯🙈🛸

night life? lol

Hi Arienne, NNice u r Videos. interesting tour more nice u r HOT DOG. My neighbour has gone for higher study last 13th Apr 2021. Looking for more Videos. Thks India

Lobster Roll......some artificial lobster in a hot dog bun...LOL

I was trying to say without any permission, excuse me

poor person living in Dartmouth and have never had lobster

Traffic in Halifax? You guys are cute thinking that you have traffic

Myth....the window of St. Paul's church was never replaced. It is actually encased in plastic. That is NOT the North End...that us central Halifax. The North End is NORTH of North St. She obviously has no idea what a Doner Kabob is...nor a gyro...nor anything else as a Donair is NOTHING like any of them ! You would be better off getting a McLobster !

Says she eats lobster every day. I believe her.

The Bicycle Thief is just an OK restaurant, wouldn't recommend for the price.

you didn't high light how racist it was and how expensive it is to live

Your tour guide is totally wrong on so much. If shes ever been to another city she will know that halufax definitely is NOT a hip city.

Im from maine we have better lobster rolls

why do most videos on youtube have that irritating thumping nightclub music in the background? its not cool, its annoying
