Historic Properties is a charming collection of shops and eateries set in a historic downtown location in Halifax. Visitors can find a variety of interesting local products, from souvenirs to food and drinks. While it may be a bit farther from the cruise terminal than some other shops, the calm, nostalgic atmosphere and scenic harbor views make it a worthwhile destination. With a great selection of cute food trucks, restaurants, and opportunities for harbor tours, Historic Properties offers a lovely experience for both tourists and locals alike. However, recent news indicates that the leases for this popular attraction will not be renewed, and the shops will have to relocate in the near future, signaling changes on the horizon.
Halifax waterfront is always busy, and a fun place to be

I love this area of Halifax's downtown core. So much history in this area that it really is a must see place. The vendors here are all friendly and its a wonderful jump start to the Halifax waterfront.

Visit the bookstore and support local business. Lots of local writers and themed books.
