Halifax's vibrant waterfront is a must-see for any visitor, and the heart of it all is the historic Museum Wharves and Boardwalk. This bustling stretch of revitalized waterfront offers a unique blend of historical charm, modern attractions, and stunning harbor views, making it a perfect destination for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
