Free or Almost Free Fun Things to Do in Halifax

Halifax, Nova Scotia

I love Halifax and trust me I really do! This is one city which has everything I look up for in a vacation destination. It has everything from metropolitan feel to being safe in downtown and from beaches to picture perfect gardens. The best part of the city is that it has many things to do which are absolutely free or almost free. I remember on saving couple of dollars on my last visit as most of my vacation went checking out free things.

• Public Gardens

The garden open’s seasonally, is one of the best and spectacular gardens I have been to, after Central Park in New York City. The Garden offers perfect escape from the maddening and crazy hustle of the Spring Garden Road, so do start your day out from here. The garden is a perfect place of have long strolls with your partners, while you smell the fragrance of thousands of flowers over soft cushiony green grass. The park has many rare and exotic species of plants, trees, and flowers from all over the world and the best part the park is completely FREE…

• Downtown

My dad always told me that walking is the best exercise and I agree to it! So why not double it up the fun with downtown as in checking out the whole downtown walking. So after the Public Garden, head towards downtown. Halifax’s downtown is located on a slope which eventually ends up at the beach. So do take the pleasure of exploring the new city’s downtown on feet by just ducking in and out of the shops and streets. Here be ready to run into tons of eating places, specialty stores, fashion boutiques and art galleries.

• Party and Post party Breakfast

Halifax boasts of its young and happening crowd, all because of huge student population. So weekends are party days and what else can be more happening then the Split Crows with their beers and live music? It is one of the best joints to mingle with the locals and the drinks here are very cheap.

After a night of wild partying you may want to head towards Maxwell Plums for some greasy yet healthy breakfast of bacons, eggs, toasts and fries, all for CA$2. Isn’t it a steal?
