Arts & Culture
My favourite museum, all about ships, including the Titanic. And the waterfront is a great place for a stroll. If you feel like going on a boat, there are harbour cruises, or the ferry to Dartmouth is just $2.50 (exact change needed), and ask for a transfer as it's good for the return trip within 2 hours.
