Vacations - Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia is an ethereal peninsula that juts off of Canada's
eastern coast into the Atlantic Ocean. It's array of geography
from dense, rich forests to windswept, rocky shores and fertile
inland orchards make it the perfect vacation spot for those who
enjoy scenic travelling.
Nova Scotia's European settlement was established in 1605 by the
French - one of the first settlements in North America but is
now home to a vibrant mix of ethnic backgrounds. Only in Nova
Scotia can you enjoy such a unique combination of European
history as well as a celebration of cultural diversity.
You can visit historical landmarks such as Fort Louisbourg and
Halifax Citadel. Step back in time and view the Capital city,
Halifax, from the Citadel, a fortress completed in 1856 and in
use by British and Canadian Forces until the Second World War.
Experience the Victorian age recreations of soldiers training in
the courtyard - kilts and all! The Citadel also portrays
soldier's wives and civilians in it's authentic recreations.
Nova Scotia's history also plays a role in of one of the largest
sea tragedies, the sinking of the Titanic, and is home to the
graves of the largest concentration of the victims.
If you enjoy the scenery or want to take an active vacation
there are several scenic trails that meander through Nova
Scotia's inlands and coastal areas. There are also hiking,
canoe, kayaking and biking routes and tours.
Spring is welcomed with the traditional festivities of
the
Annapolis Valley Apple Blossom Festival in May where you can
enjoy parades, celebrations and the breathtaking beauty of some
of the loveliest apple orchards in full bloom. The fall is
equally admired with the landscape becoming a fire of brightly
colored trees painting the hills and valleys with orange, yellow
and red.
Enjoy the barren, rocky landscape of Peggy's Cove and visit the
most photographed lighthouse in the world. You'll also be
impressed with the awesome power and beauty of the ocean
crashing and spraying over the rocks. Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy
is home to the world's highest tides - so watch out when
enjoying the many beaches that cover 100's of kilometers of
coast.
If you enjoy city life, than you'll love the quaint pubs, shops
and the art shops of the historic properties in Halifax. There
is also high style shopping on Spring Garden Road or you can
take a glimpse of works by up and coming artists at the Nova
Scotia College of Art and Design - a leading visual arts
university in North America for more than a century.
Whatever your pleasure - you'll find something to love in Nova
Scotia!
