The City
With its shopping malls and brusque tower blocks, the commercial and social heart of modern Halifax clambers up the steep hillside from the harbourfront, its narrow streets dotted with scores of bustling bars and restaurants. The city's main attractions - most notably the Art Gallery , with its eclectic collection of modern Canadian paintings, the Maritime Museum and the Georgian Province House - all huddle close together in the lower part of town beneath Halifax's star turn, the Vaubanesque Citadel . On a sunny day, a pleasant diversion is a trip to see a couple of the outer fortifications built to defend Halifax harbour, and you can also catch the ferry over to neighbouring Dartmouth , home of the old Quaker House .
