Nova Scotia Travel Adventure Guides
My first stop was on Cape Breton Island to see the Cabot Trail, Alexander Graham Bell Museum, and Louisbourg National Historic Site. But then I also went to a cafe to listen to the local music and did some hiking as well.
Back on the mainland, there are visits to Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg, and across the province to the Annapolis Valley with its fruit farms and quaint towns. Read more and start planning your trip below!

Visiting Nova Scotia for the first time
As a first-time visitor to Nova Scotia, you would focus on one of two regions—the capital of Halifax with its harbour, historic fortress, and waterfront area. From Halifax, day trips to Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg, and the Annapolis Valley are easy.
Many people, particularly if part of an Atlantic Canada road trip, head to Cape Breton prior to catching the Marine Atlantic ferry to Newfoundland. In Cape Breton, visit historic Louisbourg, the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck, drive the famous Cabot Trail, and listen to traditional music in the various cafes.
