Nova Scotia Travel Guide: Reviews, photos, & videos
Let’s be honest, we’ve all heard countless Canada jokes, and face it, they’re pretty funny. But, in Nova Scotia’s case, the title "Generica" certainly doesn’t apply. Nova Scotia boasts an unexpectedly rich cultural, ethnic and natural diversity - and not to mention some killer scenery. Nova Scotia is perhaps most famous for its annual autumn foliage change. Like in New England, every fall thousands of tourists travel from across the globe to witness the scarlet, orange and yellow hues that seem to magically transform the countryside into a pristine patchwork pattern. Want to see the most scenic leaf location? Then, follow the other “Leafers” to the Cape Breton Highlands.
Remember way back in 6th grade when we learned about tides? Well, does the Bay of Fundy sound familiar? This unique bay is home to the world’s most extreme tides, which differ as much as 48 feet between high and low tides. It is also home to many marine mammal species, and colorful, quaint villages. Two great ways to experience the phenomenon are on one of the numerous tall ship cruises available from Lunenburg or in a white water raft riding the incoming tidal wave. But please make sure you’re not on the outgoing wave. Not surprisingly, few pop culture icons have come from Nova Scotia, but one very significant historical figure is Alexander Graham Bell of Baddeck. Though not born in Nova Scotia, he is buried there, and tourists can visit his grave and a museum in his honor. But plan ahead because there’s no phone. Just kidding.
