Nova Scotia’s Official Tourism Website | Visit Canada’s Atlantic Coast

Nova Scotia vacations are truly worlds-away from anything you’ve ever experienced. Renowned for the highest tides in the world at the Bay of Fundy, award-winning vineyards scattered about the province, nationally recognized chefs at the helm of Nova Scotia restaurants and over 700 festivals annually, Nova Scotia is a place of remarkable natural beauty and thriving culture. Relax at Peggy’s Cove fishing village, go on a whale watching trip, tour the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island, experience Nova Scotia golf, learn about Nova Scotia genealogy or explore one of Canada’s Seven Wonders—Pier 21—on a Halifax tour. Remember a Nova Scotia accommodation can be found for every style of getaway, from a seaside inn to a quaint bed and breakfast or an urban Nova Scotia hotel.

Living History The Highland Village, overlooking Cape Breton’s famed Bras d’Or Lakes, is North America’s only living-history museum for Gaelic language and culture. Also commemorating Nova Scotia’s Acadian past is Grand Pré, site of the church and cemetery of the 17th/18th century Acadian village. Grand Pré is the scenic setting for Longfellow’s famous poem Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie. For a different chapter of Nova Scotia’s history, visit the Glooscap Heritage Centre near Truro to learn about Mi'kmaq culture. This experiential centre allows you to discover the tools, traditional clothing and language of this Nova Scotia aboriginal group. View more Nova Scotia attractions »
