Exploring Nova Scotia's Rich History and Maritime Heritage

Established in 1753, Lunenburg is recognized for its unique architecture and vibrant colored buildings. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's the best example of a planned British colonial settlement in Canada.

As the capital, Halifax is notable for its role in maritime history. The city's excellent natural harbor has made it a key naval base, and it was the Titanic's closest major port during the 1912 disaster.

Annapolis Royal, among the oldest continuous European settlements in North America, was once the capital of Nova Scotia and offers a quaint glimpse into the province's colonial history.

Yarmouth, at Nova Scotia's southwestern tip, has a rich seafaring history. The town boasts the largest fishing fleet in Atlantic Canada and the Cape Forchu Lighthouse guiding vessels since 1839.

Truro is the gateway to the Bay of Fundy, where visitors can witness the world's highest tides. The tidal bore along the Salmon River is a natural marvel attracting many tourists.

Wolfville, home to Acadia University, has deep Acadian connections. The region's fertile soil supports lush vineyards, and Grand Pré, a UNESCO site, commemorates the Acadian Deportation.

Known as 'The Birthplace of New Scotland', Pictou is where the first wave of Scottish immigrants landed in 1773. The Hector Heritage Quay celebrates their journey with a full-scale ship replica.
