Nova Scotia

Halifax, gateway to Atlantic Canada, is a modern port city teeming with culture and heritage. It is a colourful combination of urban and rural living at its best; and the entire region delights with an impressive array of entertainment, museums, galleries, historic sites, fine restaurants, lush gardens, and lively nightlife. The city's historic waterfront area - made up of cobblestone walkways, charming little boutiques, cafés and pubs - is a great place to spend the day, just milling around and taking it all in. In the summer, the city comes alive with festivals - from the grand Nova Scotia International Tattoo and the unique Buskers Festival to the annual Dragon Boat Festival and Atlantic Jazz Festival, and so much more.
