Nova Scotia
|
Nova Scotia. Come
bask in a different kind of warmth. Here on the East Coast,
hospitality is a competitive sport, and Nova Scotians are
world champions. There's nothing we like better
than to welcome visitors as if they were family and show
them the time of their lives.
With value packages, outdoor
adventure ideas, hundreds of festivals
and events, plus a whole host of accommodation choices,
from bed and breakfast in a centuries-old inn to exquisite
boutique hotels, planning a Nova Scotian vacation experience
that suits you to a T couldn't be easier.

Let your heart soar with the bald eagles as you wind your
way along Cape Breton's Cabot Trail — one of
the most breathtaking oceanside drives anywhere on Earth.
The world's highest tides rise and fall in the Bay
of Fundy, where the whales come to play and people-watch
every summer. Our history and heritage live large in in places
like the Fortress of Louisbourg, the largest reconstructed
18th-century fortress town in North America, and in towns
like Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home of
the Bluenose II, Canada's living tall ship legend.
From the musical legacy of our Acadian and Gaelic communities
to the Changing of the Guard Festival scheduled at the Halifax
Citadel this summer, our affection for the past still leaves
room for rollicking, action-packed good times in 2006.

There are as many definitions of the ideal vacation as
there are fish in the sea. Perhaps you're dreaming
of a three-day tour of regional wineries and evenings spent
dining in some of Canada's most critically acclaimed
restaurants. Or maybe you're the kind of traveller
who prefers digging for clams and sharing a local beer around
a bonfire at the beach. It might be big-bang extravaganzas
like the Nova Scotia International Tattoo or the rocking
and reeling of the Celtic Colours International Festival
that get your groove going. Or maybe it's the funky,
friendly vibe of the world-renowned Folk Harbour Festival
that has you counting the days until your vacation starts.
Capital city culture and entertainment boasting the biggest
casinos east of Montreal? Got it. Small town bijou theatres
with big-name entertainers? Got that too. No matter how your
trip comes together, simple memories of a Nova Scotia vacation
won't be nearly enough. You'll be booking your
trip back before you know it. And we'll be here to
greet you, just like family.
