Itinerary Interest: Eat & Drink
This three-day itinerary combines the energy of Halifax with the coastal charm of Nova Scotia’s South Shore, including Peggy’s Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg. While you could easily spend three full days exploring Halifax alone, this itinerary focuses on the region’s highlights and requires a bit of prioritizing along the way.
Whether you’re arriving by plane, train, or car, Halifax is one of Canada’s most walkable cities. By staying in accommodations downtown, you can spend three days exploring historic sites, waterfront attractions, dining, shopping, and cultural experiences without needing to drive.
Sip Tidal Bay in Nova Scotia wine country, sample ciders crafted from Valley-grown apples, browse bustling farm markets, and dine on menus inspired by ingredients harvested just down the road.
This itinerary is best suited for travellers looking to maximize their trip to Nova Scotia and ensure they visit the must-see destinations in one week. This trip spans 1,800 – 2,000 km, with a busy daily pace, and the time spent in the car could be tiring, depending on the destinations you choose to visit.
Looking for an easy getaway from the city? Hop on the train and head to Truro. With cozy cafés, local shops, and nearby outdoor adventure, this short trip packs plenty into just two days.
Experience Acadian culture, excellent dining, shopping, live music and cozy accommodations all with the picturesque Cape Breton Highlands as a backdrop.
Step into Sullivan’s Crossing by visiting real filming locations throughout the Halifax area and Nova Scotia’s South Shore, including charming coastal towns, the show’s iconic diner, and scenic seaside backdrops that bring the series to life.
Nestled on the Bay of Fundy coast, explore this cozy town, get your fix of world-famous Digby scallops, relax at the spa and discover talented handcrafters.
