"The location is great with multiple restaurants and shops to browse. The walk to the docks was an easy 20 mins but severely uphill on the return. Lots of interesting buildings including the Nov Scotia government and multiple museums and the art gallery also easy walks. Parking was good although I needed more direction to get the card right.
