jeansaussie1 Posted June 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Some of the information I've found on the websites for both Halifax and Saint Johns is outdated. So I emailed their chambers of commerce for information. Halifax's free hop on/hop off bus called FRED is no longer running. However, the city is still very walkable if you are in good shape - 9 blocks uphill to Citadel. Shops and musuems much closer. Saint Johns has a boardwalk called Harbour Passage that leads from the cruise terminal to Reversing Falls. Due to construction it may or may not be open when you arrive. Below is the email I received from Saint Johns Hello, Unfortunately this question is a difficult one to answer, let me explain why. Harbour Passage is open as of today it is open, they were supposed to close it at the end of April, to start working on the Harbour Bridge (over top of part of the Passage). The company doing the work ran into some financial problems and they are waiting for a court order to tell them to go back to work, as you can tell it has already been a month of no construction on the bridge, so who knows how long it will take for them to start the work. The answer to your question is for now it is open. It would take you approximately 30-45 minutes to walk to the Reversing Falls. We look forward to seeing you soon.

If you google St. John's you will get information about a city in Newfoundland. Saint John is in New Brunswick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
