Nova Scotia is famous for our showstoppers like the Cabot Trail, Peggy’s Cove, lively waterfronts, and iconic coastal views. But beyond the bucket-list highlights lies another side of the province, one that’s quieter, slower, and deeply rewarding to explore. Quieter corners, winding back roads, and lesser-known trails where you can slow down and really soak it all in.
From our tourism colleagues that greet travellers with their trip-planning questions by email, phone and in-person at our provincial visitor information centres, we’ve compiled a list of regularly asked questions – with our answers and recommendations – to help you ensure that you are prepared for your adventures in Nova Scotia!
